Dear Friends, The unfolding disaster in Japan brings home forcefully the point that the production of Nuclear Energy is inherently extremely dangerous and so the trajectory the Indian State is taking on Nuclear Energy is horribly wrong. But to address the core issues, we have to confront the entire context and the way in which energy choices, energy production & wasteful consumption is being organized even as the basic and direct energy needs of the people are not met. Even in the narrower context, the ongoing Japanese nightmare should, at a minimum, pose a serious question mark against all the nuclear programmes being pursued in India. But the Indian state is determined to shamelessly and ruthlessly push ahead with its aggressive programs. The affected people in different proposed Nuclear Power Plant sites are struggling against the imposition of such plants in their locality which will take away their land and livelihoods and expose all those living around to high levels of health damaging ionizing radiation. The struggles are only getting stronger against plants to establish NPPs in Jaita Pur - Maharashtra, Hari Pur - West Bengal, Mithi Virdi - Gujarat, Pitti Sonapur - Orissa, Chutka – Madhya Pradesh, Kovada – Andhra Pradesh and Fatehabad in Haryana. In our own vicinity, Fatehabad, Haryana, the farmers and their supporters have been sitting in a Dharna for the last 220 days. The anti Nuclear plant struggle committee, Haryana is planning a massive rally at Fatehabad on 28th March, Monday. We therefore invite all like minded organizations, activist groups and individuals to come together and forge a large united front to campaign against the Indian State’s Nuclear Power Programmes at the various levels on which we can find convergence, from the general to the particular.
