Reuters reports — Indian riot police fired tear gas to break up thousands of protesters on a beach near the country's largest nuclear power project, due to fire up within weeks despite months of opposition.
Demonstrators waded into the crashing waves or escaped in fishing boats as hundreds of police advanced, television images showed. Rocks were thrown at police and several injuries were reported on both sides.
Some 4,000 activists, mainly women and children from fishing villages, had camped on the beach about a mile from the Kudankulam power station to complain about the threat of radiation from the plant near the southern tip of India. Read the full story.

HORRIBLE
These Humans are poluting the Sea with their Swetty skin, dirty clothes, and urine laden poly knit slacks. According to Al Gore, IFFFF 8trillion Humans enter the Ocean and both urinate & deficate at the same time....
Sea levels COULD rise 16 feet...
....and kill all the fish as well, leading to a world Wide shortage of Fillet of Fish Sandwiches at McDonald's.
Humans should not be aloud in the Ocean any more ! ! !
(this message by the Man made Global Warming Movement - Utter stupidity in speech for over 2 decades)
BLAME BUSH ! ! !
People, it is so clear to see, George W Bush caused this. The evidence is overwhelming.
How do I know...?....well, I dont. But i WILL watch MSNBC tonight, they seem to find a way to blame Bush for just about everything in the World today.

ALLERGIC TO STUPID PEOPLE you really need to take your medicines for that allergy.
Nuclear power plants, although not preferable, are necessary to provide adequate power for India's citizens.
