With adherence of all safety and welfare measures, the Koodangulam Nuclear Power project should commence at the earliest to meet out the acute power shortage in Tamilnadu State.

Central and State Government should take immediate action to resume the Sethusamudram Canal project with due consideration of religious sentiments and welfare not only for Tamilnadu State but for national interest.
