Its a right of every citizen to breath fresh air, eat healthy food, in short lead an happy life.
But the life of the people in the village of Padubidri is not so Happy.
The Naagarjuna thermal power plant has made people restless.
According to activists, the plant was installed on an experimental basis and transports coal by road, in violation to the Clean Coal Technology Act which states that coal can be transported only by conveyor belts. The factory, activists claim, was opened under dubious circumstances. They insist that the non-procurement of Panchayat license for the construction, destruction of forest land and the 'Ash Pond area' problem (where the ash upon burning the coal is dumped, destroying the soil fertility) are other such violations.

Having such projects in densely populated places like Udupi will lead to a lot of health hazards. There are places like Raichur which could be used instead, where the establishment cost would be much lower as well.
There are many problems caused by Nagarjun power plant that need to be taken care of.Its my request to the the concerned officers to rectify all the errors and make the life of people fit for living.
