Leaders of various political parties and social groups participated in the mahapanchayat, even as farmers ended their hunger strike.
Addressing the farmers, speakers said no land would be given to the Centre for setting up the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) plant at the proposed site in Gorakhpur village.
Prof Arvind Kejriwala said, “It’s dangerous and foolish to set up a nuclear plant at a place with a high density of population. Moreover, residents of the area would not get electricity at cheap rates.”
