CHENNAI: Former Chief Minister and leader of Opposition Edapadi K Palaniswami on Thursday urged Chief Minister MK Stalin that the State government oppose hydrocarbon projects in Ariyalur district.

In a press statement, Edappadi K Palaniswami recalled how the then DMK government granted permission for various hydrocarbon and Methane projects in the state and AIADMK government’s efforts to declare the Cauvery delta as a Protected Agriculture Zone.
