Power plant row: APSHRC issues notices
Andhra Pradesh State Human Rights Commission (APSHRC) on Wednesday issued notices to the East Godavari Collector and Superintendent of Police in connection with a clash between villagers and police over a proposed power plant in the coastal district.
Acting on a petition filed by some villagers, the APSHRC ordered issuance of notices and directed them to file a report before it by April 4.
Over 100 people were injured when villagers, opposing a proposed power plant in Bikkavolu, clashed with police during a public hearing near Kakinada on February 6.
People from at least a dozen villages in the vicinity are opposed to the 100 MW captive power plant of a fertiliser company apprehending pollution and damage to crops.
