दखलंदाजी के माध्यम से आवाज उठायें

महाराष्ट्र में सरकार की कारगुजारियों के खिलाफ आवाज उठाने वालों को जेल के हवा खानी पड़ रही है ......
मामला है वहाँ के रत्नागिरी जिले का ...यहाँ  बन रहे नुक्लिअर रियक्टर केंद्र पर स्थानीय लोग सवाल खड़े कर रहे हैं ... लोगों का मानना है की यहाँ बन रहे परमाणु केन्र्द में जो भी रियक्टर लग रहे है उनका निर्माण फ्रेंच कंपनी अरेवा ने किया है ..कंपनी अपनी बुरी शाख के लिए दुनिया भर में मशहूर है ...अमेरिकन और यूरोपियन देशों में इस कम्पनी के रियक्टरों को स्वीकार नहीं किया गया ...कारण है कि ये  " आधारभूत सुरक्षा मानको पर भी खरी नहीं उतर रही हैं "
Greenpeace India की करुना रैना का ईमेल मुझे मिला है जिसमे उन्होंने प्रधानमन्त्री मनमोहन सिंह जी से  अपील की है कि वो इस मामले की भी अनसुनी ना कर दें ...... आप भी दखलंदाजी के माध्यम से इस मुद्दे पर आवाज उठायें

Dear alok,

So unfair! 600 people were arrested in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra for expressing their right to be safe. They were opposing the export of untested nuclear reactors and its consequences in the area^[1].

The reactors for this plant are coming from the French nuclear company Areva, known for contaminating sites it operated in, like the La Hague reprocessing facility ^[2]. These very reactors have not been accepted by US and European nuclear regulators because they do not meet basic nuclear safety standards ^[3].

Yet again our government is favouring foreign corporations over its own people. A nuclear accident will affect all those living in and around this district. Over 16,000 people have already signed a petition asking the Prime Minister to value public safety. Our target is to get 30,000 signatures on this petition.

Can you also sign this petition asking PM Manmohan Singh stop the export of dangerous nuclear reactors?

http://www.greenpeace.org/india/en/What-We-Do/Nuclear-Unsafe/ask-manmohan-singh-to-put-people-before-profits/

The petition says: Put Indian lives above foreign profits -- Stop the import of dangerous nuclear reactors to Maharashtra.

A large number of signatures will help show the PM that the opposition is not confined to the immediate area. This will help make him take action on this issue.

Nuclear facilities operated by Areva in France have contaminated their surroundings, including groundwater. In fact Areva was found responsible for several leaks and instances of radioactive substances being lost.

Inspite of all this our government is keen on letting the company provide technology in India. The government needs to value our safety over foreign corporations interest.

Tell the PM to put our safety first. Sign the petition now.
