Koodankulam: HC not to lift prohibitory orders

CHENNAI: The Madras High Court dismissed a petition against the prohibitory orders under Section 144, in place in the Radhapuram Taluk of Koodankulam. The prohibitory orders had been put in place in the wake of protests against the Koodankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KKNPP).The High Court bench ruled that the court cannot interfere in a cabinet approved government decision aimed at sustaining law and order in the state. Following this, the government has given the green light for further security measures in the Koodankulam area.Meanwhile, it has been reported that a woman, who is one among 15 who have been on an indefinite fast against the KKNPP, has taken a turn for the worse. She has been moved to a nearby hospital.
