Kudankulam sealed as tension simmers - NewsX

As tension simmered, security forces sealed almost the entire town housing the atomic power plant with anti-nuclear movement leader S P Udayakumar remaining elusive after a somersault on his surrender offer. Kudankulam, the hotbed of the over year-long protests which turned violent on Monday, has almost been sealed by armed policemen who took positions at important places, especially around the KNPP site, allowing transportation of only essential commodities while clamping down on strangers. Police said they were checking vehicles and sealed areas around the nuclear plant as shops in nearby Idinthakarai and some other areas remained closed for the third day today. Bus services remained off roads in and around Kudankulam.
