The government's decision comes in the wake of opposition from farmers in the state. The government had held three public hearings to gather the views of farmers, who have stoutly opposed the project in western Tamil Nadu.
"GAIL should withdraw the current scheme and should take steps to lay pipelines along the side of the national highways," she told the assembly.
While replying to the special call attention motion raised by the opposition parties including the DMK, the CM said the after removing the pipelines, the company should also restore the land to its original state and return it to the farmers.
Stating that her government will not encourage projects that affect people, Jayalalithaa told GAIL to withdraw all the cases filed against the farmers. "Nobody will accept that there is any justification that industrial growth should be attained at the cost of farmers' livelihood...my government is determined that projects are for the people, and not the other way around," she said.
Jayalalithaa's strong stand came against the backdrop of a three-day consultation the state government held with affected farmers recently and led by chief secretary Sheela Balakrishnan. In addition, the chief minister asked the company to give adequate compensation to the affected farmers.
