The proposed 6000 MegaWatt (MWe) nuclear power plant at Mithivirdi in the Bhavnagar district of Gujarat has now been officially slated for Kovada, Andhra Pradesh. A decade long struggle to save their land has ended in victory for the villagers of the region.

Bhavnagar city in Gujarat experienced one of the most widely attended non-political event on April 26th 2013 when over 1500 people from about 125 villages falling within the 30km danger zone of the proposed nuclear power project at Mithivirdi about 50 km away from the city.

Angry at the flawed and incorrect EIA report submitted by NPCIL in March and adamant that they will not allow this dangerous technology in their backyards, residents from Mithi Virdee, adjoining villages and from Bhavnagar city will hold a protest meet and a rally.
