Urging the government to fulfil their demands related to pollution and other issues at the Sipcot Industrial Growth Centre in Perundurai, members of the Perundurai Sipcot-Affected People’s Welfare Association have decided to hold a conference in November in the district.
The association’s coordination committee meeting was held recently at Perundurai and was chaired by its member T.N. Chenniyappan, coordinator S. Chinnasamy and others.
Members said that farm lands were acquired in 1995-1996 for establishing the centre and over 100 families who had given their 200-acre land were not adequately compensated so far. The centre is spread across 2,700 acre and the roads used by the public were modified and new roads were laid. It affected many land users as they could not get approval for their plots.
