New Delhi, Sept. 27 (PTI): The Supreme Court today made it clear it could stop commissioning of the Kudankulam nuclear power plant if it finds safety requirements have not been put in place.
“We will not hesitate to stop the plant if we find that the mandatory safety requirements have not been taken care of at the site,” the court said.
The court flagged the safety of the plant and the people living in its vicinity as its prime concern and issued notices to the Centre and the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board on a plea challenging the environmental clearance given to the controversial project. It posted the case for further hearing on October 4.
