Oil leakage due to MRPL’s negligence: Muneer Katipalla
The pipeline, which supposed to be in the high observation, is leaking from the past several days but it came to the company’s notice only before two days. Besides, the company has not yet been able to identify the specific location of the leakage. This has led to creating the dangerous environmental condition. The negligence of MRPL is the main reason behind this incident, DYFI Karnataka state president Muneer Katipalla alleged.
MRPL's response - MRPL commented on the VB report as follows :
This is to clarify on the reports of oil leakage from MRPL pipeline. "During a routine pipeline corridor inspection from MRPL to NMPT jetty, MRPL officials had noticed oil traces on the surface near Adani Wilmar on MSEZ road, The source of the oil is not yet established. It is noticed that waste material is being illegally dumped on the vicinity of our pipeline corridor. The possibility of dumping of waste oil by unknown persons in the vicinity of our pipelines is not yet ruled out. To eliminate the possibility of leak from MRPL's underground pipelines, the company has started excavation of the area. So far no leak from the pipeline has been observed. "
