Anti-nuclear activists protesting against Kudankulam Nuclear Plant on Wednesday demanded immediate halt to work at the plant, saying the earthquake that hit Indonesia was "Nature's warning against the commissioning of KKNPP.
"PMANE thinks that today’s earthquake and tsunami are Nature’s warning against commissioning the KKNPP. We demand immediate halt to the work at Koodankulam Nuclear Power Project in the wake of the massive earthquake off the coast of Indonesia, significant tremors all over Tamil Nadu and the potential danger of tsunami along the coast of Tamil Nadu," People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy said in a statement.
PMANE is spearheading the stir against KKNPP.
However, Site Director of KKNPP M Kasinath Balaji said work at the plant was not affected and they were "generally on alert" after they received reports of the earthquake from Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services.
