TN panel submits report on hydrocarbon projects
CHENNAI: The seven-member high-level expert technical committee headed by soil biologist and ecologist Sultan Ahmed Ismail has submitted its report on the adverse impact of hydrocarbon exploration and mining on groundwater and environment.
The report, which is kept confidential, was handed over to industries secretary S Krishnan on Thursday. The committee was formed by the State government in August last year with a mandate of giving its findings within four months, but Covid-19 delayed the study.
