Why citizens oppose power plant in their neighbourhood!

Every one understands the need for generation of power but no one wants the power plant in their neighbourhood. People fear that industries will fail in fulfilling their commitment towards environmental protection and they doesn't have faith in Government's environment protection agencies that they will monitor the pollution and take effective action against the polluting industries.


They feel that Govt. Is not disclosing the real facts and fear about environmental decay.
People are not being involved in deciding appropriate development plans.
Govt. Should engage People, encourage them to actively participate in environmental protection and also in monitoring. Citizens should be encouraged to form monitoring agencies at local level and such monitoring bodies should get enough rights to control the industries. 

While acquiring land the farmers should get more than enough compensation towards sacrificing their land. The land should be acquired for a price much above the current market price.
