The centre has sent out a strong signal for early commissioning of the Kudankulam nuclear power project. Home Minister P Chidambaram who visited the site yesterday said the Centre was probing the flow of funds allegedly received by the anti-project activists and would take strong action if the money came in a „wrong way“. Chidambaram attacked anti-nuclear plant leaders saying it was a delayed protest after 13,000 crore rupees of the people’s money had been invested in the project and 95 percent of the work completed.
