CHENNAI: The new ash pipeline being built for North Chennai Thermal Power Station (NCTPS) stage-3 in Ennore over Kosasthalaiyar river does not have mandatory statutory clearances, said the joint committee report submitted before the southern bench of National Green Tribunal (NGT).
An Ennore fisherman R Ravimaran had filed a petition with NGT, alleging that TANGEDCO’s old leaking ash pipelines and the new construction has polluted the river beyond use, hampering livelihood of hundreds of fishermen. TNIE had published a ground report, highlighting the violation in July.
