The two under-construction power generating units and the proposed Nuclear Fuel Complex (NFC) at the Rajasthan Atomic Power Station (RAPS) in Rawatbhata have raked up a major controversy with locals claiming that these power units are being set up without the necessary safety measures. The locals, supported by the local BJP unit, had even called for a bandh in Rawatbhata on the issue. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/BJP-locals-protest-against-proposed-nuke-site-at-Rawatbhata/articleshow/14165916.cms

About Intercultural Resources
Intercultural Resources is a forum for research and political intervention on issues related to the impacts and alternatives to destructive development. Our effort draws upon the social, cultural, material and intellectual resources that have been generated in the course of dialogues between people of different cultures on questions of social justice, development and self-rule. We are of the view that dialogue can sustain plurality and open possibilities for recovery of the ground lost on account of inter-cultural alienation, which is manifest in a variety of forms of violence that we encounter everyday at different levels of social life. Intercultural Resources is based in Delhi, India. Email: ihpindia@gmail.comLeave a Reply Cancel reply
