NAGAPATTINAM: Villagers from Nangur near Sirkazhi are the latest to come out in opposition to a GAIL pipeline-laying project. The underground pipelines are to be laid near Sirkazhi. After resistance from Vettangudi villagers in February, the earthing process for the pipelines has run into opposition in Nangur for the past one week. The project was stopped on April 13 after a protest.
A peace meeting was convened after the elections on Wednesday but a compromise could not be reached between villagers, farmers, GAIL and revenue officials. Despite attempts at a compromise, the villagers staged a walkout.
