Environmentalists Urge Quarry Permit Cancellation Near Petroleum Pipeline

Environmentalists are calling on the Tamil Nadu government to revoke permits for stone quarries operating within 500 meters of an underground petroleum pipeline. Citing a Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) letter obtained via RTI, they highlight risks associated with blasting operations near the pipeline. BPCL guidelines require specific safety measures, including third-party surveys and adherence to peak particle velocity limits, to protect the pipeline carrying petroleum products.
