Mongabay-India is an environment and conservation platform that brings high-quality, original reports from nature’s frontline in India. We look at India’s development through the prism of environment and conservation.. Cuddalore district in Tamil Nadu, adjoining Puducherry, was considered a backward district and has been the focus of industrialisation efforts by the Government of Tamil Nadu in the past few decades. An oil refinery and a thermal power plant were used to form the hub for an industrial area, promoting chemical and petrochemical industries. The local communities, which have suffered due to environmental pollution and have not got the fruits of development as promised, are hoping that a change in management in the refinery could result in a change in the situation. The views expressed in this commentary are that of the authors.
