One of the biggest nuclear reactors planned in Jaitapur, Maharashtra is in an earthquake prone zone !

Are you in Delhi on Friday, March 25th? If you are, then you should join me and several others marching to the Parliament to protest against India’s nuclear ambitions. I will also deliver the petition against the nuclear power plant in Jaitapur, signed by thousands like you to the Prime Minister’s Office.


Register for the march to Parliament here
While the rest of the world is seriously reviewing its nuclear power plants post Japan, the Indian government is only downplaying the risks of a nuclear accident in the country. One of the biggest nuclear reactors planned in Jaitapur, Maharashtra is in an earthquake prone zone [1] and will use untested technology. [2] Can you imagine a Japan-like situation and the way it would be handled here?

On March 25th people from all walks of life are marching to the Parliament, to tell the government that the people of this country do not support dangerous technology. Join this march to tell the government that it can’t put our lives at risk. More people will make a bigger impact.

The forwarded message from Ms Karuna Raina of Greenpeace India is self-explanatory.  I urge you all to oppose setting up of one of the biggest nuclear reactors at Jaitpur (Maharashtra), which will be located in the earthquake prone area, and try to avoid a Japan- like tragedy in our country.   Please sign the petitition as directed in the message below; and if you are available join the march to Parliament tomorrow (25th March).
