: ONGC has lost ₹200 crore due to continuous agitations by “vested interest” groups and the enactment of the Tamil Nadu Protected Agricultural Zone Development Act, 2020, according to Anurag, Executive Director, Asset Manager, Cauvery Asset.
After hoisting the national flag on Independence Day, Mr. Anurag claimed Cauvery Asset was facing a setback due to “unscientific allegations” by the “vested interest groups”, and found itself being forced to send idle drilling rigs to neighbouring States. Due to this, a lot of secondary workers may lose their jobs, Mr. Anurag was quoted as saying in a press release. Notwithstanding the setback, Cauvery Asset kept fulfilling its production targets to the maximum extent possible, he said.
