CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu government and Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited (CPCL) on Thursday informed the southern bench of the National Green Tribunal (NGT) that emergency oil recovery work in the Ennore creek has been completed, while work in the mangrove area would take some more time and experts have been roped-in. However, both parties continued to cross swords over the source of the oil spill.
The CPCL, which according to the state is responsible for the incident, remained adamant that it did not cause the oil spill. However, it has paid the Rs 7.54 crore sought as compensation by the state.
