Jayalalithaa demanded all power, generated from Kudankulam to state

Days after giving nod to the Kudankulam nuclear power plant in the state, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa on today demanded all power that will be generated from it be supplied to the state.

The AIADMK supremo made the demand in a letter shot off to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on today.

Jayalalithaa’s letter states that Tamil Nadu is facing severe shortage of power so entire power generated from Kudankulam nuclear plant should be allotted to state.

Tamil Nadu on March 19 gave the green signal for the Kudankulam nuclear plant.

India's atomic power plant operator, Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL), is building two 1,000 MW reactors at Kudankulam in Tirunelveli district, around 650 km from here.
