Members of the Tamil Nadu Vivasayigal Sangam affiliated to the Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Wednesday prevented Gas Authority of India Limited authorities from laying pipeline to take natural gas from Kochi to Bangalore via Dharmapuri, at Yelagiri here.
The pipeline is being laid across seven districts in Tamil Nadu viz. Coimbatore, Tirupur, Erode, Namakkal, Salem, Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri. An office-bearer of the association said that based on a case filed by farmers, the Supreme Court had instructed the State Government to convene the Collectors’ meeting and find out an amicable solution.
