It is unfortunate that the Kudankulam nuclear protest has turned violent. What is worse is that it has turned into a fight between the authorities and fishermen. Our coasts and fishermen are crucial to security and growth. And it must be underscored that not all fishermen are involved in the fight against the nuclear plant. The government must take urgent steps to bring back a congenial atmosphere to initiate a dialogue on the issue.
