As the country prepares for a jump towards harnessing electricity through nuclear routes and meet the requirements of India’s nuclear vision (2030) ,India should immediately augment uranium resources and locate new uranium deposits.

India has a target of generating 40,000 Megawatts of nuclear power by 2030. At present India is producing 6,780 Megawatts from installed nuclear power stations. In order to meet it’s target India has to produce nuclear power 6 times of what its doing now.

By that decision of the central government , panic erupted in the villages around #Nallamala . People living here from generations are worried about the permission granted. BK timmapur people told me - if anyone comes for Uranium they have to face our axe and chilli powder.

Chenchu’s are the long living tribal near #Amrabad of Telangana. Its a very old tribe that entirely depends on forest resources. There are most worried because any decisions of migration would not only take them away from there land but also it will be an end card for that tribe.

#Amrabad is a tiger reserve where many tigers   (a spices which is on a edge of extinct that we only remember on #Tigersday ) What will happen to tigers if this process and testing of uranium takes place ? A grave danger for environment and Animals. #saveNallamala
