No hydrocarbon project, assures Food Minister

“We are clear in our stand that our government will not allow any anti-people project such as hydrocarbon and methane extraction projects in the state. Our stand had been explained in detail by Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami and Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam, in the Assembly,” said Kamaraj, adding that Law Minister CVe Shanmugham, had given a detailed reply in the Assembly on the issue.
