Mumbai, Apr 19, (PTI): The bandh called by opposition Shiv Sena in coastal Ratnagiri district to condemn the police firing on anti-nuclear power project demonstrators in Jaitapur turned violent today with a mob ransacking a district hospital and torching buses. 


The mob attacked the district hospital and damaged its postmortem wing in Ratnagiri besides setting on fire some state transport buses and other vehicles, officials said.

With the Opposition sharpening its attack on the ruling Democratic Front (DF) government over the proposed 9900 MW Nuclear Power Project in Jaitapur, the Leader of Opposition in legislative Assembly Eknath Khadse demanded a judicial probe into yesterday's police firing in which one person was killed.

Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray said that the DF government will have to pay a "heavy price" for police firing.

"It is time for chief minister Prithviraj Chavan to pack up and go home," Thackeray said.
Tavrez Sejkar was yesterday killed in police firing at Sakhrinate village when around 600-700 locals protesting against the project, attacked the local police station.

The project with six nuclear rectors of 1,600 MW each would be one of the largest N-power projects in the world.

    Nuclear energy is very, very dangerous if it goes out of control. It may even end the life on earth so why play with it. My sincere advice for the world is to strictly introduce an universal policy to cut down on population growth and bring the world population back to ‘Three Billion’. Find other alternative energy like solar, wind, tidal-wave, dam, bio-gas energy. Even petroleum and coal energy should be limited and the hollow coal-mines should be safe-guarded from human catastrophes.
    YOU GEN-Y:
    SAY NO TO NUCLEAR ENERGY
    AND SAVE PLANET EARTH!
    HEAL THE WORLD,
    MAKE IT A BETTER PLACE
    FOR YOU AND FOR ME
    AND THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE!!
