Action council activists today staged a dharna and rally in protest against the proposed 400 KV power highway from Koodamkulam Atomic Power Plant in Tamil Nadu
to the KSEB Sub-Station at Madakkathara in Thrissur.
Action Council Convener Sobichan Abraham and other leaders claimed that the Action Council had suspended the five-year-old agitation in January this year following an assurance from the Power Grid Corporation, Electricity Minister, Revenue Minister and other officials that adequate compensation would be given to the affected farmers but contrary to the assurance, the authorities had betrayed the farmers when they stopped the agitation.
They asserted that construction of the proposed power highway would not be allowed under any circumstances as it would destroy the farm sector in the central Travancore area. The power highway should be rerouted, they said.
A public meeting was also held as part of the agitation.
