QNA

Q. This is exciting! Along with 187,759 people I signed a petition asking the Prime Minister to hold a public consultation before taking a decision on the nuclear liability bill. These petitions were delivered to the Standing Committee looking at the bill and now they have decided to hold a public consultation.The bill in its current form lets the foreign corporations get away by paying a meagre amount in case of a nuclear accident in India.
