Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa today requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to instruct Central authorities to act on the Siruvani dam issue and withdraw nod for an Environmental Impact Assessment or EIA study by bringing to his notice, a unanimous resolution adopted by the State Assembly over it.
"I request you to instruct the Ministries of Environment, and Water Resources to take immediate further action on the basis of the resolution passed unanimously by the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly," she said in a letter to PM Modi in which she appended a copy of the resolution.
