Bangalore: The deadlock over the Koodankulam nuclear power remains, even as the efforts of the prime minister's ambassador to crack the frost made little progress, and the fast by locals challenging the project entered its 11th day.
It is the common man's power again that has stalled Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's determined attempt to produce nuclear energy in India on a larger scale. The government may have to bow before growing protests and reconsider the 2000 MW Koondankulum Nuclear Power Project in southern Tamil Nadu.
With commissioning scheduled for November, the work for the first of the two 1,000 MW reactors has begun. It is being built with Russian technology and design. The dropping off the plans now to lay down four more reactors at the same site will be a gigantic waft to both India and Russia.
