Ahead of CM's All Party meeting over Sterlite issue, the company has filed a petition with the Supreme Court claiming that the state does not have the requisite expertise to run the oxygen production plant.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami has called for an all-party meeting on Monday to discuss the oxygen production at the Sterlite plant in Thoothukudi. This comes after the Supreme Court suggested the state government to take over the Sterlite copper unit and use its oxygen production capability for treating Covid-19 patients. The plant was shut and sealed back in May 2018 after the police firing in an anti-Sterlite protest, killing 13 people.
