Contents
Background
Hinduja Power Plant is a proposed 1040 megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station in Andhra Pradesh, India. The plant has been the locus of controversy including large protests in 2011. In November 2011, the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) decided to defer the coastal regulation zone (CRZ) approvals to the project following alleged violations by the company.[1]
Protests
In December 2011, members of 32 villages affected by the Hinduja Power Plant blockaded the main entrance to the plant. The protesters demanded employment for local workers as well as compensation for the 623 acres acquired for the project. After assurances by governmental and company officials that a meeting would be convened in 15 days to resolved the issues, the protest dispersed. [2]
