Kumar Sundaram | The former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh and senior leader of the opposition Congress party has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to rethink the Chutka nuclear power project proposed in the state. We urgently need suck reckoning across the political spectrum.

Communities in central India’s Mandla district, especially Gond adivasi tribes, have been vociferously agitating against the Chutka nuclear reactor project proposed in their region. Villagers in Chutka and Tatighat, who will be immediately affected due to the project by losing their land and livelihoods, boycotted the local elections of gram-sabha.

Appeal for support from the ongoing massive campaign in Chutka against the proposed nuclear plant. Please join the yatra, help us break the media silence by spreading the word and support us financially.

These projects have been on the anvil for almost a decade now, and have been facing intense local opposition, besides other serious questions such as safety concerns, environmental impacts, emergency evacuation and liability.
