Drilling in Tamil Nadu: CRZ clearance not required anymore

ONGC which plans to drill 22 wells in Ramanthapuram district of Tamil Nadu will now no longer have to worry about the CRZ clearances.
8During  the initial proposed locations, some of the wells were falling under ESZ and CRZ zones.
8However, after the revised geophysical and geological studies, relocations were made and no location was found to be falling within the CRZ and hence the company's CRZ application was withdrawn. 
8However ONGC still awaits clearance from the wild life department.
8But as ONGC was asked to submit the EIA report within a period of two year starting from 2013 which is due to expire on 05.11.15 but due to delays, ONGC will now have to take up the case with the EAC Meeting of October 2015 for extension of the TOR for one more year.
