Deccan Herald: New Delhi:
Thursday, April 10, 2014.
Global
environmental agency Greenpeace has alleged that the Department of Atomic
Energy misled the Cabinet Committee on Security to get the financial approval
to build up two additional reactors at Kudankulam.
The agency
has said that the department falsely informed that an insurance package for
proposed reactors is being worked out with the General Insurance Corporation of
India.
“According to
an RTI response from General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC), Kudankulam
reactors will not be insured by them. In its response, GIC stated that, “No
insurance is offered by GIC for unit number 3&4 at Kudankulam”. It even
goes on to say that “No official communication between NPCIL and GIC pertaining
to the issue has taken place”, the Greenpeace said in a statement on Tuesday.
The RTI
request was filed by Greenpeace on the 12th of March.
