With situation in Ratnagiri remaining volatile, the Congress party Wednesday said Maharashtra will take a decision on the Jaitapur nuclear power plant in the best interest of "energy and environment security".
One person was killed and several others were injured when police opened fire on a crowd protesting the proposed 9,900 MW nuclear power plant Monday.
"The union environment ministry and the state government are looking into the matter. The environment minister has gone into it in great detail and several studies at various levels are being done," Congress spokesperson Jayanthi Natarajan told reporters here Wednesday.
"The Maharashtra government and environment ministry both will take a decision in the best interest of the energy security and environment security," she said.
Several parts of the coastal Ratnagiri district witnessed sporadic incidents of violence as thousands protested the proposed Jaitapur nuclear power project coming up here.
