In the Cauvery delta region of Tamil Nadu, public sector explorer ONGC has not been able to protect the environment to the desired extent even in existing hydrocarbon projects. Vedanta Pvt Ltd plans to use unconventional exploration methods that will be ecologically very destructive, says PK Rajan of the Tamil Nadu Science Forum. As it is, Vedanta has a bad track record in various projects across the world, hence it should not be allowed in any project in the Delta region at any cost," he adds.
