The resolution against the exploration of hydrocarbons expresses the collective sentiments of the farmers and the people of Pudukudi, as any move to carry out the project would adversely affect the livelihood of farmers, one resident said
The Pudukudi village panchayat in Andimadam taluk in Ariyalur district has passed a resolution opposing any move to explore hydrocarbons, not only from the village, but in the entire district. The resolution was adopted and signed by the panchayat president J. Rajendran during a meeting of the panchayat on Thursday. The special resolution was passed in the wake of the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited seeking environmental clearance for drilling exploratory wells at 15 places in the State including 10 in Ariyalur district recently.More Related News
