Tuticurin bishop calls for a stop to nuclear plant that endangers people

"The Kudankulam nuclear station (Tamil Nadu) is a question of life and death for the entire population," Mgr Yvon Ambroise, bishop of Tuticurin, said. 

Critical of the government's silence with regards to the Kudankulam nuclear plant, he warns that the latter might damage the environment and man. 

In an interview with AsiaNews, the prelate said that the Church is in the forefront of the defence of the rights of the local population irrespective of religion, ethnicity and social status.
