The State government would never permit coal/lignite mining in Tamil N💫adu's Cauvery delta districts, Chief Minister M K Stalin told the state Assembly on Wednesday.
Replying to special call attention motions moved by MLAs, Stalin said he too was shocked like others when he came to know about the Centre's auc🧜tioning process for three coal blocks in the delta region of Tamil Nadu.
Immediately, he wrote to Prime Minister Narཧendra Modi against it and tasked DMK MP T R Baalu to take up the matter with the Centre and Union Coal Minister Prahlad Joshi assured the Parliamentarian that Tamil Nadu CM's opposition would be given due weightage and taken into accoꦆunt.
Stalin said not only in his capacity as Chief Miꦐnister but also as a person belonging to the delta region (Tiruvarur district) mining projects would never be allowed in delta districts of Tamil Nadu.
