Nuclear Protest at Indian Parliament in New Delhi

Greenpeace activists display banners and barrels bearing the message ‘People before Profit’ in front of the Parliament building in Delhi to persuade the Government to stop the passage of the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Bill- 2010, which is being tabled for passing in the Lok Sabha, also titled the House of the People (the directly elected lower house of the Parliament of India). Greenpeace is demanding unlimited liability. Even the increase to 1500 crores in the liability amount by the government still means that the compensation is capped and therefore unconstitutional. If countries like Germany, Finland and Japan can have unlimited liability there is no reason why a country like India, with such massive expansion plans, cannot.
