‘Crude oil output has fallen in ONGC facility in Karaikal'
Asset Manager of ONGC Karaikal Uday Paswan hoisted the national flag on the company premises on the occasion of the 78th Independence Day. In his speech, Mr. Paswan said crude oil production at the asset had fallen from 700 tonnes a day to 600 tonnes a day despite earnest efforts to sustain output as even routine maintenance activities could not be undertaken. The constraints, he said, were due to the promulgation of the Tamil Nadu Protected Agricultural Zone (TNPAZ) Act and the non-availability of necessary statutory clearances. He urged the State government to facilitate clearances from the Pollution Control Board and grant permission to hold a public hearing in Ramanathapuram, a non-delta district. The asset, he pointed out, held substantial gas reserves that could support a gas-based economy. Gas, he said, could be used for power generation instead of coal as it was a cleaner energy source. Highlighting ONGC's corporate social responsibility initiatives, Mr. Paswan said nutritional supplements worth ₹30 lakh had been provided to tuberculosis patients in Thanjavur and Tiruvarur districts. Storage shelters worth ₹1.5 crore were being set up in Tiruvarur and Nagapattinam districts to protect paddy from rain.

Bhanu powers Villianur to win vs Karaikal
CHENNAI: VILLIANUR Mohit Kings continued their winning run, after beating Karikal Kniights in the Pondicherry Premier League at the Siechem Stadium on Thursday. Bhanu Anand (79) led the chase of 153. Put to bat first, Karaikal failed to get a good start. The top-order failed to get a good start. Middle order batters Vikneshwaran Marimuthu(48 n.o) and Ankit Sharma (55 n.o) took the team to a total of 152. Apart from the brief blip where two were dismissed for none, Villianur's chase was a comfortable affair.
