Amid the aftermath of Cyclone Michaung, an oil spill in Chennai sparks a blame game between Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) and Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited (CPCL). The spill in Ennore, home to refineries, raises environmental concerns and compounds challenges for flood-affected locals. TNPCB directs CPCL to map affected areas, implement remedial measures, and faces operational suspension threats for zero leakage. Residents suffer health issues, and CPCL is held liable for compensating affected families. The National Green Tribunal's intervention adds pressure for accountability in this post-cyclone environmental crisis.
