It's a remarkable about turn: after declaring for months on end that a nuclear power plant would be set up at Drolli village near Patran, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today announced that the plant would not be set up there. Till date, the Punjab State Electricity Board (PSEB), in the face of virulent opposition by local villagers, has maintained that a 450 MW nuclear power plant would be set up at Drolli once the Nuclear Power Corporation (NPC) gave its approval.
