The agitation against Kudankulam nuclear power plant (KNPP) near Tirunelveli reached a feverish pitch on Thursday with thousands of activists blocking all the entry points to the project  site.

Employees who reached the KNPP for shift could not enter the premises which brought routine works to a grinding halt.

This is the first time that a nuclear reactor was affected following agitation by the local residents. However, protests are only set to intensify with the Tamil Nadu chief minister openly supporting the protestors. Jayalalithaa has said that the people’s interest will not be compromised.

This comes a day after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh urged her to support the nuclear plant.  http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/current-affairs/jaya-supports-kundankulam-nuclear-plant-protesters_598922.html
