Govts Nuclear power programme to appease foreign firms at cost of safety of locals: Prashant Bhusha

New Delhi, March 11 (ANI): Indian anti-nuclear activists raised their voice against central government's move to bypass supplier liability provisions against foreign companies and accused lawmakers of neglecting public interest and catering only to the business needs of private players. The activists, who were part of an international team that visited nuclear accident sites all over the world, called for stringent safety measures and unlimited nuclear liability. India and Russia are keen to sign an agreement for the third and fourth units of Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KNPP) in Tamil Nadu. Mar 11, 2014

Prayers & support pours in from sand till sky for missing Malaysian flight

Puri, March 11 (ANI): Internationally acclaimed Indian sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik created a sand sculpture of the missing Malaysian airliner as he prayed for the lives of 239 passengers who were aboard the plane that went missing near South China sea. The disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines jetliner is an “unprecedented aviation mystery”, with a massive air and sea search now in its third day failing to find any confirmed trace of the plane or the people aboard. Dozens of ships and aircraft from 10 countries scoured the seas around Malaysia and south of Vietnam for the search operation with China deploying almost 10 satellites to help in the massive air and sea search for the fight, sources said.
