R.Jeyadurai. SHRI S. R. JEYADURAI : Respected Madam, today, the demand for power is rising. Our needs are rising and without power, we cannot meet these requirements. Without power, we cannot increase our industrial and agricultural production. The modern life has changed. We need power for everything. We have coal-based power plants, hydro-based power plants, and of course, gas-based power plants in the country. Our country has taken up large scale production of nuclear power to meet the growing need of power in the country. But there are inherent dangers of nuclear power. We have seen many accidents at prominent nuclear power plants in Russia and Japan. These countries used to claim their nuclear power plants are safe. People around nuclear power plants are the most sufferers. I would like to know from the Government as to how many people have been displaced till date when the previous atomic power plants were set up and as to how many people will be displaced by proposed atomic power plants in the country, particularly Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant in Tamil Nadu? Have the people who were displaced been relocated successfully or enhanced compensation given to them? SHRI V. NARAYANASAMY: Hon. Member has asked several questions about the safety part, and thereafter, he came to the compensation part. Madam, I would like to submit that after the Fukushima episode, the hon. Prime Minister had a review meeting with the officials of the Atomic Energy and ordered especially the Nuclear Power Corporation India Limited (NPCIL) to have a review of the safety measures that have been adopted in our nuclear power plants in the country. Twenty nuclear reactors are functioning the country. All of them are very safe. 16.05.2012 12 Not even one incident had happened. Nineteen are in operation and one is under maintenance. Six Committees have been constituted by the NPCIL; one is relating to the power plants which are getting uranium from abroad; and power plants which are using indigenous uranium; power plants which are under construction. This Committee went into the whole aspect and came out with the minimum standards to be adopted which have been followed.

  • The Dignity of Santana Mondal
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 The Dignity of Santana Mondal VIJAY PRASHAD Vol. 49, Issue No. 20, 17 May, 2014 Vijay Prashad ([email protected]) is the Edward Said Chair at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon. Santana Mondal, a dalit woman supporter of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), was attacked by Trinamool Congress men for defying their diktat and exercising her franchise. This incident illustrates the nature of the large-scale violence which has marred the 2014 Lok Sabha elections in West Bengal. Serious allegations of booth capturing and voter intimidation have been levelled against the ruling TMC. Santana Mondal, a 35 year old woman, belongs to the Arambagh Lok Sabha parliamentary constituency in Hooghly district, West Bengal. She lives in Naskarpur with her two daughters and her sister Laxmima. The sisters work as agricultural labourers. Mondal and Laxmima are supporters of the Communist Party of India-Marxist [CPI(M)], whose candidate Sakti Mohan Malik is a sitting Member of Parliament (MP). Before voting took place in the Arambagh constituency on 30 April, political activists from the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) had reportedly threatened everyone in the area against voting for the Left Front, of which the CPI(M) is an integral part. Mondal ignored the threats. Her nephew Pradip also disregarded the intimidation and became a polling agent for the CPI(M) at one of the booths. After voting had taken place, three political activists of the TMC visited Mondal’s home. They wanted her nephew Pradip but could not find him there. On 6 May, two days later, the men returned.

  • Title: Rise in Prices of Essential Commodities. DR. RAM CHANDRA DOME (BOLPUR): Madam Speaker, Through You, I Want to Draw the At
    > Title: Rise in prices of Essential Commodities. DR. RAM CHANDRA DOME (BOLPUR): Madam Speaker, through you, I want to draw the attention of the Government, and of the House also, to the most urgent matter of public importance, that is, the unchecked and uncontrolled price rise of essential commodities. The prices of essential commodities, especially of food articles, are sky-rocketing. That has been going unchecked for several years. Presently, food inflation has gone to its peak levels again, but hundreds and thousands of the aam aadmi -- in terms of the Government -- are suffering. Their misery is countless as regards the price rise as the rise in fuel price was added to the plight by raising the price of petroleum products several times and decontrolling price of petrol in the market. This also further added to the suffering of the people. Presently, even the prices of vegetables and fruits have gone up. The growers are suffering and the consumers are suffering, but the hoarders and big businessmen are making countless money out of this situation. There is no food security arrangement. The Government had assured in this House that they will bring forward the food security law to protect the suffering and downtrodden people, but for the last two years we do not see any comprehensive measure being taken on the part of the Government to protect the suffering people, that is, those who cannot afford to purchase food articles. MADAM SPEAKER: Thank you. Please conclude now. DR. RAM CHANDRA DOME : The per capita food consumption is coming down. This is the reality.

  • LARGEST DEMOCRACY but LOWEST VOTING We Have
    EDITOR\DIRECTOR The news bits are formed on the happening of events. But analyzing the incidents happening since last one year, we don’t deserve such good news. As in past one year there are several harrowing and sorrowful Scams like CWG, Adarsh Society, 2G Spectrum and expecting many more to come have hampered the faith in our democracy and thrown the populous voters in wilderness. These are clear indication of deteriorating Indian politics and Politicians. In the event of above scams and frequent disruptions in Parliament LARGEST working and that too at the cost of hard earned citizen’s money by our own elected representatives who are competing hard among DEMOCRACY BUT themselves for making bigger scams. It is clear that they don’t feel LOWEST VOTING ashamed off but the Indian voters are ashamed of their choice of representation and repent on their franchise. If Voters feel that the We have opportunity to voting is hoax, then there is nothing wrong. change the scenario But even then the positive message in casting vote is to replace corrupt representatives by honest one to change the corrupt politicians to bring effective leaders and for this their perseverance and vigil hard efforts are seen. It is apparent that the current civil movement by civil society has brought the whole nation under one umbrella, which is an indication for replacement of corrupt political system along with peoples representation in functioning of democratic system. But voters be aware that only slogan will not do, we have to give our opinion by casting our vote diligently….

  • The Dignity of Santana Mondal
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 The Dignity of Santana Mondal VIJAY PRASHAD Vol. 49, Issue No. 20, 17 May, 2014 Vijay Prashad ([email protected]) is the Edward Said Chair at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon.
