PUBLIC OPINION:
Mr. S.P. Muthuraman, Environmentalist, Sankarnagar
He informed that before 2006, there was no Public hearing meeting and because of
Environmental Impact Assessment Notification, Public Hearing becomes possible and for
that he thanked the Ministry of Environment and Forests. The India Cements Mining were
operated with enhanced production even before ten years back without obtaining prior
Environmental Clearance. He questioned whether inspection was carried out by Tamil
Nadu Pollution Control Board officials in the violation period. He also questioned how the
CTO was issued for the mining and the permission was obtained illegally. The Ministry of
Environment and Forests does not know the fact and instructed to proceed legal action. The
Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board has permitted the mining without prior Environmental
Clearance. The District Collector should initiate action to include the right offenders who
were left to safeguard the Industry Administration and without correctly mentioning the
offenders, report has been forwarded to Delhi and so the Terms of Reference was issued.
The then District Environmental Engineer fully supported the industry and action shall be
taken against him.
The Office Memorandum dated 27.06.2013 opens the back door for obtaining the
Environmental Clearance illegally. The Hon'ble National Green Tribunal stayed the Office
Memorandum and the Terms Of Reference was issued on 08.10.2014 in violation of the
stay granted. He also informed a petition has been given to the District Environmental
3
Engineer before 20 days to include the right offenders. The right offenders shall be
informed to the Ministry of Environment and Forests and this Terms of Reference shall be
reviewed. He also informed that a petition has been filed before the District Environmental
Engineer to allow the individual to visit the mining site for which no reply is received yet.
The height of the ramp is much increased like a hill. In the social welfare activities,
the Rajakkamangalam Village is totally neglected. Other mines also operated nearby He
also accused that no CSR activity is properly done in nearby villages. He also informed that
heavy blasting is carried out and Rajakkamangalam Village is affected. He also informed
that the mining is carried out even below the ground level which affected the ground water.
He also cited that other mining owned by other institutions are also in operation and so the
grazing of the cattle of the local villages is greatly affected. Regarding Green Belt, he
informed that the trees are developed only for the name sake and the unit is discouraging the
entry of the public within the mining area and the cement division. He also said that there is
no employment generated and the already employed people are indirectly forced to go on
voluntary retirement.
Mr. S. Dakshinamoorthy, DGM (QA & Envt.), The India Cements Ltd., Sankarnagar
He informed that in 1992, a combined consent granted by Tamil Nadu Pollution
Control Board for of all limestone mines of ICL located in Tirunelveli district with the
consented quantity of 8.16 Lakh MT per annum. While appraising our project, the Ministry
has observed that the five mining leases only will be considered in isolation for granting
Environmental Clearance. Due to the variation on the production level noted from 1993 -
2014 with respect to the 5 mining leases for which the applications were submitted. It was
concluded by the Committee as a case of violation and the Ministry has directed to adhere
the Office Memorandum issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests for further
consideration. In adherence to the Office Memorandum, the Board of Directors of ICL had
4
passed a resolution informing that such violations will not be repeated in future. Also the
Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board initiated credible action as suggested in the Office
Memorandum and the proceedings is pending before the Hon’ble Judicial Magistrate
Court-V, Tirunelveli. He also informed that variations cited in the mining of Limestone is
not altered and it is verifiable with the royalty paid statement and District Collector’s
proceedings. Under the circumstances the petitions submitted by TNPCB did not alter the
violation period. He claimed that all steps upto this point of time is in adherence to the
procedures laid by the Ministry, hence there is no need to review the ToR already issued.
Regarding trespassing in the mining area, he said that road is being used by the
public and there is no restriction. For entering into the leasehold area the permission is very
much required so as to ensure the safety of the visitors. In the Cement Plant area, he
informed that necessary permission shall be obtained to visit the cement plant. In future he
expressed their desire to meet the local people directly. The schools and polytechnic
managed by India Cements is not only meant for their employees and since the inception of
the educational institutions the management is extended these facilities to the local residents.
This fact is well supported by the present strength of these educational instituions at the tune
of around 2500 in the school and 500 in their polytehcnic college. Already CSR activities
were carried out for about Rs. 190 Lakhs and for the next five years about Rs.100 Lakhs
already allocated to spend for 5 leases covered in Sethurayanpudur, Ramayanpatti and
nearby villages. He also expressed that the villagers can approach the industry for their
needs and the same will be considered within the financial allocation made. He also
expressed to participate in the schemes along with the Government through Self Supporting
Scheme.
Mr. P. Ramasamy, AVP(Mines), The India Cements Ltd., Sankarnagar
He informed that the waste dump can have a maximum height of 30 Metres from the
ground level as per the rules and regulations. But at present, waste dump height is around 17
to 23 metres only. Regarding heavy blasting, he informed that the blasting is carried out as
5
per the guidelines of Director General of Mines Safety which prescribes the standard of
vibration level for various structures. For domestic area the acceptable limit is 15 mm per
second. He also informed that regular measurements taken within 300 to 400 meters
distance which shows a vibration level of 3 to 4 mm per second only. Under these
circumstances with due adoption of controlled blasting, he rejected the accusations of
vibrations in the area. He also invited the public to be present at the time of taking
measurements in future. Even the reputed Institutions carried out the vibration study.
Regarding ground water, he informed that the reputed institution has certified that the rocks
available in the mining is a compact one and there is a least possibility for the seepage of
ground water into the mining area. The rain water is only accumulated in the mine pit. The
Public Works Department which monitors the three observation wells located in the nearby
area and reported that there is no appreciable variation in the ground water table level and on
consideration of the facts and observations, this area is declared as safe zone. He also cited
that the ground water depletion is not because of the mining activities carried out at the site.
Regarding Green Belt, he informed that 3500 saplings are planted recently along the dump
slopes etc. and the same is maintained as mentioned in the Environment Management Plan.
Mr. S. Dakshinamoorthy, DGM (QA & Envt.), The India Cements Ltd., Sankarnagar
He informed that the mining is in operation since 1962 over an extent of 28.43
hectares and no additional land will be acquired for the said production enhancement. He
requested the public not to have any fear on this.
Mr. S.P. Muthuraman, Environmentalist, Sankarnagar
He informed that only the Ministry of Environment and Forests has found the
violation in the mining. He also informed that the public can file a criminal case under
section 19b and under this provision, he filed a case against the India Cements Management
and the unit has obtained a stay in the Hon'ble High Court citing that the company was not
included as a party. On the India Cements Captive Power Plant, he questioned that whether
the company was included as a respondent.
6
Mr. Devendran, Pallamadai
He questioned that how many people are employed in the organisation since 2010.
He also informed that more employees were working earlier in the company and at present
they have been sent with retirement money to their home. He doubted about the educational
help given by the India Cements Limited and informed that in the Schools and Polytechnic
run by the unit, only the seats are given for the known and supporting people. The coolie
people in this area now started to give higher education to their wards, which is not because
of this company's educational help. In Naranammalpuram village, which is located at 1.5
KM away, the vibration due to blasting is high. In his native village which is 5 to 6 KMs
away, he feels heavy noise and expressed the noise will be very high within 1.5 KM. This
blasting vibration results in miscarriage of woman. The Mangamma Salai is destructed and
so they have to travel a long distance to reach their destination. He questioned the area
occupied by the mining is under actual lease or encroached. Regarding the cement plant, he
said that the dust and smoke causes disease. Trees are having white leaves. He requested to
control the dust emission and safeguard the existing trees. He also informed that he has seen
tree plantations in the unit area which is not watered properly and the saplings were already
dead. He also informed that the Manur and Pallamadai tanks are depleted of its water
because of the mining activity and the unit restricted the revamping activity by the Public
Works Department. Because of the intervention of the District Collector recently, he
informed that ponds are full with water. He also informed that the Semboothu, Nariyuthu,
Pooliyuthu and all other water resources are destroyed. He questioned the number of
graduates employed from this local villages in this cement plant since 1946 and informed
only the Coolies are taken for the company. He expressed that the unit is in the process of
its enhanced production when local public expects closure of the unit. He requested the
District Collector to form High Level Committee to investigate and close the mines.
7
Mr. S. Dakshinamoorthy, DGM (QA & Envt.), The India Cements Ltd., Sankarnagar
He informed that India Cements is having 247.64 Hectares of patta land for mining
operations and its allied activities in this area. No encroachment is made for carrying out the
mining operations. He assured to clear the obstruction if any, in the Mangamma salai as
stated. This area normally receives rainfall during the North East Monsoon and he informed
that the overall rainfall gradually decreased. So the water resources are diminishing and not
because of the mining activity. He informed to carry out the Manur Tank channel
revamping through participative scheme and there is no intention to affect the basic needs of
the public.
Mr. Sahul, Thalaiyuthu
He requested the public present at the meeting to approach the issue scientifically
rather than emotionally. Sankarnagar Cement Industry is existing for the last 60 years and
the nearby people expect schemes both from the Government on the one side and the India
Cements on the other side. It is right for the nearby villages to approach the cement industry
for their infrastructure facility and informed that the Tenkalam quarry road was extended for
1.5 KM length at a cost of Rs. 1 crore which is used by more than 95 % of the public
transport only. This cement road will exist for the next 50 years. The Sankar Polytechnic,
an Institution of the company is serving for the local villages. He expressed that his kids are
studying in the nearby school by paying Rs. 200/- only as annual fee. He also informed that
water tanks are constructed and opened by the cement industry authorities. He also
informed that for the development of the nation, the cement price should be under control.
Even if there are shortcomings on pollution control, he expressed that benefits through
Polytechnic, School etc. are extended regularly.
8
Mr. Devendran, Pallamadai
He informed that the public welcome more industries in Tirunelveli District. But
The India Cements pollutes the environment in an alarming level. He also informed that
the unit exploits national resources. He expects assurance from the unit to revamp the
Manur and Pallamadai tanks or otherwise mining shall be closed.
At this stage, Thiru. Sahul, Thalaiyuthu stood up to speak again for which certain section
of public jointly opposed to express the opinion by the said individual in support of the
project. The other people generally tend to express their opinion also stood up in the
meantime. The District Collector and the District Environmental Engineer, TNPCB
pacified the crowed to keep calm and to occupy themselves in chair. At this juncture
certain section of the crowed left the hall voluntarily. This event lasted for about 5
minutes and then the Public Hearing was continued.
Mr. Venkatachalam, FEDCOT, Representative
He informed to keep all the norms issued by the Government during mining and to
ensure no impact for the nearby deer sanctuary. He cited the cement price is less in Kerala
against the high price in Tamil Nadu.

of wild life in the deer sanctuary as part of the requirement for obtaining this NOC from
National Board for Wild Life (NBWL) and also for carrying out the enhanced production
activity.
9
Public of Sethurayanpudur Village
He informed that the impact of India Cements is high and the water channel is
encroached. He also said that the Public Transport in the Sankarankoil Main Road is
stopped during blasting timing and the nearby new buildings are cracked because of
blasting. There is no rain due to mining. Since Mangamma salai and the Sankarankoil
roads are encroached, the transport becomes tougher. He also accused that the Polytechnic
run by the India Cements is not serving the rural students and there is no employment for the
educated youth. Only the Talaiyuthu area people are enjoying the benefits. The rain water
channels are destructed. The explosives in 40 feet depth drillings were used and necessary
instructions shall be made. The unit is not paying tax for Sethurayanpudur and there is no
use for the public of this area. The encroachment shall be removed which obstructs the
transportation and requested to ban the mining industry.
Mr. S. Dakshinamoorthy, DGM (QA & Envt.) The India Cements Ltd., Sankarnagar.
He informed that the Mangamma salai will be opened if at all any obstruction found
and necessary fencing will be provided so as to ensure the safety for the public. Blasting is
carried out as per the guidelines issued by the authorities concerned. He also assured to take
corrective measures if any, for life support, infrastructural development will be taken to the
notice of the management. He also said that the allegations made by the public are very
general in nature without mentioning anything specific. He also cited necessary inspections
are carried out by various Government Departments which ensures there is no rule

Tmt. Aruna Packiaraj, Nanjankulam
She informed that her husband met with an accident while he was working in the
India Cements Cement Mill and admitted in the High Ground Govt. Hospital. She
expressed that the education of their children was ruined because of the non support from
the India Cements and spent lot of money to keep her husband in good health after accident.
She said that the Mill is not approaching the right people in the nearby villages. She also
said that the India Cements Ltd., does not encourage to employ her son who was qualified in
I.T.I. under compassionate ground in cement mill even after repeated entry into the mill.

while entering and said that only Rs. 800/- was paid as pension. She also said that she has
not filed any suit against the company with the hope to obtain employment for her son. She
requested the mill management not to approach individuals in the nearby public, but to call
the general public for discussion. She also informed that management has given only Rs. 7
Lakhs as compensation whereas she spent Rs.15 Lakhs for her husband's medical expenses.
She is not able to pay the fees to the Polytechnic for her son. She expects to support the
revamping of the Manur tank which will improve agriculture in the nearby areas. She
expressed that Rs. 300/- per month is required for her husband's medical expenses. She also

Mrs. Saraswathy, Nanjankulam
She said that the houses are affected because of blasting and more difficulties are
faced by the local public.
11
Mr. Pasupathy, Nanjankulam
He said that the villages are affected and the Nanjankulam village is more affected.
He cited that the removal of waste dumped from the land owned by Captain Rathinam who
speaks English very fluently but the same is not happening for other common people. He
requested to reduce the blasting in intensity and not to consider the opinion expressed in
support of the project. He also requested to conduct this Public Hearing in every village and
to restrict the mining depth. He cited four people only were employed in the cement plant
and no good activity is done by the India Cements.
Mr. S. Dakshinamoorthy, DGM (QA & Envt.), The India Cements Ltd., Sankarnagar
He informed that notice to pay tax has not been received from Nanjankulam Village
Panchayat and on receipt of the same this will be paid.
Mr. P. Somu, Nanjankulam
He said that mining is in the name of Nanjankulam. But the tax is not paid. In the
Polytechnic, the scheduled caste students are not admitted. These students from poor family
cannot afford to pay the fees. The India Cements Ltd., have developed the road only for
their lorry transportation and not for the public transportation. He said that the adverse
impact is more and entire public roads in Manur Panchayat Union are affected. He invited
the District Administration to have direct inspection and informed that both the Government
and The India Cements Ltd have not repaired the road. He informed that Mangamma salai is
affected and Manur tank is not revamped because of the objections raised by India Cements.
Mr.Sebastin, Tirunelveli Town:
He said that the cement produced in Tirunelveli are sold in the entire Tamil Nadu
including Chennai. But the adverse impact is only to Tirunelveli District. In contrast, the
12
cement price is high in Tamil Nadu than in Kerala. The Tirunelveli District lose its basic
life to help the other people to live in luxury. But the happenings in Andhra Pradesh is
different. He expects to reduce the cement price in Tirunelveli District.
Mrs. Padmarani, Panchayat President, Nanjankulam
She cited the improper handling of the accident victim of the earlier speaker Mrs.
Aruna Packiaraj. She informed that the facilities extended by the India cements are less and
requested to consider to provide 60,000 Litres overhead water tank facility. She also
requested to improve employment opportunity and to revamp the Mangamma salai. She
requested that the schools run by the India Cements Ltd., shall admit more students from
these villages and during blasting the vibration should be less. She also expects that there
should not be any adverse impact during the enhanced production.
Mr. Thangaraj, Office bearer of nearby Spiritual Organisation
He said that his organisation is located in between Sethurayanpudur and
Ramayanpatti. He informed that the situation becomes worse in the last 5 to 10 years. He
also stated that no new buildings, improved transportation have come in this area and the
greeneries are starved without water. Though the India Cements scientifically explained on
the vibration and the noise, he said that practically the noise, pollution and vibration are felt
in their buildings along with the depletion of ground water.
Mr. Gurunathan, Veppankulam
He said that there are lot of difficulties in establishing an institution which improves
the economic status of the area. He also said that the CSR activities are carried out by other
industries and it is not the intention of the cement industry to give hardship to the people.
He said that the people should approach the cement industry for the welfare activities. He
cited that more number of industries have closed down in recent years and informed that it
is easier to close down the unit and so he expressed support for the enhanced production.
13
Mr. Viswasam, Naranammalpuram
He expressed that the company employs 3000 labours at present and without the
India Cements Ltd., the area will be only a grave yard. He cited that the closure of the mills
in the nearby villages in the recent years and because of the new SIPCOT established, the
area is surviving at present. He also said the Rajavallipuram Hospital is well maintained by
the India Cement Ltd. and the support of giving stone and soil for necessary welfare activity.
He supported the enhanced production even though there are problems associated with it.
Public of Sankarnagar
He informed that the India Cements Ltd., developed schools, polytechnic and doing
CSR activities in this area. He requested to provide the same to all and requested the public
to make necessary demand before the company. He supported the proposal.
Mr. Krishnan
He expects to support the development of the ponds in his village and requested the
India Cements Ltd., mining to divert the pumped water to mining pit to their pond at their
village.
Mr. Somu
He said that there was less impact in the earlier days and more impact at present
because of the mining and the nearby villages are affected. He said that the nearby villages
shall not be affected and the village people shall be safeguarded. He cited the India
Cements meet the Village President only and not the individuals. He requested the officials
to have direct visit. He also said that the water is taken outside and that too is used for their
self purpose only. So, he is not able to do agriculture and worked as a painter. He also said
that tanks are affected and Manur tank is drained.
14
Mr. Nainar, Veppankulam
He said that there is no impact due to blasting and no noise is observed. He also said
that there is no water problem and the company provided greenery. He also cited the school
road and other facilities provided by the India Cements.
Mr. S. Dakshinamoorthy, DGM (QA & Envt.) The India Cements Ltd., Sankarnagar
He said that to ensure the safety measures while carrying out the blasting in specific
noon hours as prescribed by the authorities concerned, there is need to stop the movement of
vehicle in the said period so as to ensure the safety at a larger extent. He also mentioned that
the management is not restricting the usage of their roads for the public use and all the
people are using this road years together and the same will be continued. Hence the question
of restricting the public to use the quarry road is baseless.
Mr. Krishnan, Venkalapottal
He said that his village is located at about 1 KM away from the cement industry and
informed that ground water is not available even after 450 feet. The assurance to provide
well, Samathuvapuram and the pump were not provided by the India Cements. In
Madavakurichi and Venkalapottal and other villages, grazing is totally affected.
Mrs. Aruna Packiaraj, Nanjankulam
She said that there is no necessity to close down the company and requested that the
company to address the people directly instead of meeting the important people only. She
asked the unit authorities to meet the village public by forming a team. She also requested
India Cements Ltd., to issue subsidised cement even for lesser quantity and to meet the
common public to find some solutions and in the absence of the possible solution, they wish
to surrender their ration cards and to vacate their houses.
15
Mr. S. Dakshinamoorthy, DGM (QA & Envt.) The India Cements Ltd., Sankarnagar
He expressed that since the public elected representatives are considered as the
authorised personnel, the social welfare activities are done through them as a practice as
being followed across the country. He also said that more of the welfare activities are done
by the company did not go to the light of the public. He requested the District
Administration to help the management to authorise a village committee from each village
so as to channelize Social Welfare Activities through them. Regarding Manur tank channel,
he informed that the subject is pending for over 12 years and within the budget allocated for
CSR activities, the company is ready to support the de-silting works under the self
supporting scheme. He also informed to meet the village public directly in future to ensure
the benefit goes to the public directly provided after the formation of village committee.
Mr. Gopalakrishnan
He said that 200 loads of soil is used for developing certain infrastructure and he
does not know whether this work is done through India Cements Ltd., or through the Village
Panchayat Administration. He also said that the bore is dry without water.
District Collector, Tirunelveli District.
The District Collector thanked all the participants and informed that all views and
suggestions on the project are recorded and the same will be forwarded to Government.
