Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) founder Kamal Haasan on Sunday visited Ennore Creek and met fishermen in the area to see the consequences of the oil spill from Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited (CPCL) refinery in Manali.
Speaking to reporters, Mr. Haasan demanded that CPCL pay for damages and clean-up. Strict action should be taken against it for polluting the environment, he added.
“Seven years ago, I visited the area and highlighted the environmental pollution. Today, it has become even worse. Nobody can say ‘what can we do, it is nature’. It has become worse. The oil has spread over the water,” he pointed out.
