Udayakumar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dear friends: The Koodankulam struggle is picking up speed. Most coastal villages in Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi and Kanyakumari districts and several farming villages in these districts have set up struggle committees. The people of Koodankulam took out a massive rally on March 17, 2007 demanding a CBI enquiry into the quality of the nuclear power plants construction. The people there feel that the material used for the construction are of very poor quality and that compromises the safety and security of the people. The struggle committees of many farming and fishing villages held a consultation meeting on March 19, 2007 at Koodankulam and discussed the strategies for the March 31, 2007 public hearing at Tirunelveli collectorate (Tirunelveli, 10 am). Several thousand people plan to gather there and express our opposition to the public hearing and to the plants. In the meantime, the people of Idinthakarai fishing village are holding a one-day hunger strike on March 24, 2007 along the lines of February 15th fast held at Koodankulam under the leadership of Medha Patkar. The people of Perumanal and Koothankuzhi villages are also preparing for such day-long hunger strikes. Several young people and organizations in Kerala are also planning a press meet and a day-long protest against the Koodankulam plants toward the end of March. Slowly but steadily the Koodankulam campaign is growing in strength. Please join in, stop this menace and save the future generations from the scourges of dreadful radiation illnesses and dangerous nuclear war. In solidarity for a nuclear-free world S.P.
