,” the 13th CM of Tamilnadu met the representatives of the Neduvasal protesters. They insisted him to drop the plan of extracting the hydrocarbon in Neduvasal, Pudhukottai district. After discussing with them, EPS announced that Tamilnadu government would not permit the schemes that will affect the farmers. He also requested the people to quit their protest and also confirmed that TN government didn’t approve any lease agreement for Petroleum mining. People should accept the assurance by the government and quit the protest, says Palaniswami. Will the people lend their ears to the CM? Has the government really disapproved the extraction of the shale gas?
