“The Act making Cauvery Delta a protected zone states clearly that only new projects will not be allowed in Cauvery Delta region, but the already existing projects will not be disturbed which makes the law useless,” said Dhinakaran, while addressing reporters in Ranipet.


Recently, Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami in a public meeting announced that Cauvery Delta region would be turned into a protected zone and the announcement was widely welcomed by farmers across the state. Farmers also decided to hold a public meeting to appreciate Chief Minister for the announcement.


Though some section of opposition party leaders had doubts whether the announcement will be made a law, the state government removed all the apprehensions and passed an Act where a list of banned industries was also provided.


However, Dhinakaran said that already enough damage has been done to the Cauvery Delta region by the hydrocarbon projects and this Act will not serve any purpose.
