Land area measuring an extent of 1,000 sq. m. and up to a depth of one foot was affected due to a leak in an Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) pipeline at Kadiramangalam in Thanjavur district, the Centre informed Parliament on Monday.
The ONGC would flush the area with water and fill it up with soil, up to one foot, before handing it over to the owners, said Union Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan in reply to a question raised by DMK MP Kanimozhi raised in the Rajya Sabha on this issue during a debate on Monday.
