A woman activist, who was part of a 15 member group observing an indefinite fast demanding scrapping of Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant, was hospitalised on Sunday after she swooned on the seventh day of their stir against commissioning of the project.
Officials said the 40-year-old woman swooned at the fast venue at Idinthakarai and had to be hospitalised.
The agitators include People’s Movement Against Nuclear Energy coordinator S P Udayakumar, spearheading the protest against the project.
