Tamil Nadu government has decided to not allow the Gas Authority of India (GAIL) to proceed with its pipeline project across seven districts of Tamil Nadu. The project was part of GAIL’s plan to connect Kerala with Karnataka via Tamil Nadu. Further, the government besides ordering the company to stop laying pipelines on the agricultural land immediately, has directed them to lay the same on roadsides along the national highways.
This moves comes after, Mulainayakanam Pallayam, which was the starting point of GAIL’s proposed pipeline, turned into hot spot after the agitating farmers collided with the police two months ago when they were trying to stop GAIL’s representatives who were trying to conduct a survey and cut trees in their farms. This issue then was escalated to High Court, which directed the police not to give any protection to the project and also restricted them from against the farmers. Post this, the state government held meetings for three days at Chennai early this month in which 2,428 farmers from 134 villages had expressed their concerns over the project.
However, the public sector gas transmission and marketing company GAIL (India) has now exuded the hope that issues stalling its Kochi-Kottanad-Mangalore-Bangalore gas pipeline project would soon be resolved within a span of 10 days by the State government.
