Work at the Indo-Russian project, which was at a standstill following eight month-long protests by locals spearheaded by People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy (PMANE), resumed since Monday after Tamil Nadu government announced its decision to go ahead with the project.
To commission the first unit as soon as possible, more manpower has been mobilised.
Meanwhile, anti-nuclear plant agitators said that food and water supplies are running low and blamed the government for blocking supply. The police, however, claimed they are trying to restore facilities but villagers are preventing it.
However, anti-nuclear activists under PMANE convenor SP Udayakumar continued to observe their indefinite fast at Idinthakari, epicentre of the stir against the nuclear plant, protesting the March 19 state Cabinet's decision to go ahead with the project.
"These people are treating us like terrorists. But we won't give up. Even if I'm arrested, the protest will go on," said Udayakumar.
Over 3000 police personnel were placed on guard outside the nuclear plant, prohibitory orders were enforced and roads leading to Idinthakarai were blocked.
But four days later, things have improved on the ground. The police force has reduced, vehicles are being allowed into the area and essential supplies like water, milk, electricity etc have been restored. The protesters though remain firm in their demands and refuse to relent.

1) The roads leading to idinthakarai were blocked by udaya's men by cutting electric poles and wooden logs. This is just the way LTTE prabhakaran did. LTTE on the verge of defeat used innocent civilians as human shield. Here Udaya is using these innocent women and children. Both are mass murderers.
2) Udaya should explain about his USA settled children and his source of funds. His last interview he was not able to explain donations and details mentioned in statement of passbook.
3) comparing a mountain with a bund! udaya this is too much comparing your lib. with the vast archaeologically important documents lost in jaffna public library. why should we not suspect that to gain public sympathy you yourselves did it??
4) finally Osama is dead for good. we pray to lord jesus for your soul to RIP. It is time innocent christians understood the real face of udaya.
