New Delhi : To mark the one month of the catastrophe in Japan, Greenpeace Friday said it will observe April 11 as a National Day of Action Against Nukes in solidarity with the Japanese people.
The NGO has asked people to assemble at India Gate lawns around 6 p.m. and protest nuclearisation of India.
“India has ambitious plans to import 21 foreign reactors. Some of these are untested technology and some of them will be built on a site which is prone to earthquakes. The authority is hell bent on not learning from the recent events,” said a Greenpeace official.
Japan was devastated by a 9-magnitude quake March 11, followed by a tsunami that left thousands of people dead and crippled a nuclear plant, causing radiation from its reactors.
