The allegedly police beat protesters, injuring four, in Kudankulam today after Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa said her government would respect the sentiments of locals on the controversial project.
The agitation against Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant near Tirunelveli reached a feverish pitch yesterday with more than 10,000 activists laying siege to all the entry points to the project site.
More than 700 scientists and technicians who reached the KNPP for their morning shift could not enter the reactor premises which brought routine works to a grinding halt on Thursday.
