Madras HC allows Vaiko to oppose Vedanta’s Sterlite reopening plea

The Madras High Court has permitted MDMK leader Vaiko and other petitioners to oppose Vedanta’s request to reopen its Sterlite copper plant in Thoothukudi. The court also allowed impleading petitions from local trade associations and activist R. Fatima. This legal development is significant as it challenges the company's efforts to resume operations at the controversial site.
