Jaya promises safe gas pipeline if voted to power
Chennai, Apr 14, 2016, DHNS:
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa on Wednesday asserted that her party will ensure that the gas pipeline project by GAIL will come in the agriculture lands if it voted to power again.
During her election rally at Dharmapuri, Jayalalithaa said that she would prevail upon the Centre not to lay in the agriculture lands of farmers in the State.
"All the schemes should benefit the people. I would urge the Centre so that it would take measures not to lay in the farm lands", she said.
Stating that the GAIL had undertaken a project to lay 310 km of gas pipeline in farm lands in seven districts in the state, Jayalalithaa said her government already ordered that the pipes should be laid along the highways.
"My government also asked the company (GAIL) to take out the pipes that had been laid and hand over the lands to the farmers", she added.
However the Supreme Court had ruled that the state government has no powers to issue such an order.
