The AIADMK co-coordinator, Edappadi K. Palaniswami, on Thursday urged the State government to oppose strongly the proposal for clearance sought by the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation for hydrocarbon projects proposed by it in Ariyalur district. In a statement, he recalled that the previous AIADMK regime did not give permission for any such project mooted by the ONGC or any firm in the private sector. His statement follows the publication of a news item in The Hindu that the ONGC had sought environmental clearance for drilling exploratory wells at 15 places in Tamil Nadu, including 10 in Ariyalur district and five in Cuddalore district.More Related News
