Petroleum Minister M Veerappa Moily today assured action on complaints of oil mixing with ground water in some colonies in a north Chennai locality, following reports of leakage in pipelines of an oil marketing company.
"Now that you have brought it to my notice, we will definitely discuss it and nobody will be spared and we will definitely take action," Petroleum Minister M Veerappa Moily told reporters at the airport here.
Residents of Tondiarpet had complained of seepage, with the state government asking oil companies to strengthen the pipelines.
Oil companies had taken up cleaning up of wells and bore-wells in the area.
Environment Minister Jayanthi Natarajan had last week assured action, including closure of the faulty pipeline.
