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. "

Ex-Army officer assaulted, robbed at gunpoint by woman he met through matrimonial website
Mathura(UP), Apr 5 (PTI): A retired Army colonel from Haryana has filed a police complaint here, alleging that he was held hostage, assaulted, looted and forced to participate in an "obscene video" at gunpoint with a woman he met through a matrimonial website, police said on Saturday.
The woman from Mathura, who was allegedly in on the plan to rob him, was working with other accomplices, the ex-armyman said in his complaint filed on Thursday.
According to Barsana Station House Officer (SHO) Raj Kamal Singh, Colonel Rajneesh Soni (retired), a resident of Gurugram, reported that he was contacted by a woman from Barsana on a matrimonial website in January. The woman allegedly agreed to marry him, and they began communicating.
The woman allegedly persuaded the colonel to visit Barsana on January 25, requesting that he visit the Radharani temple. When he arrived, she arranged for his stay at a guest house and took him on a tour of the area, including a visit to the temple, the complainant said.
After returning to the guest house, the woman and her accomplices allegedly told the colonel that her brother had been involved in an accident and they needed to leave immediately. They then led him to a waiting car.
"Once outside the town limits, the colonel alleges that he was attacked by the occupants of the car. They seized his phone, physically assaulted him, and forced him to contact relatives and friends to transfer money," the SHO said.
"He was then taken back to the guest house, where he was allegedly forced to participate in obscene videos and photographs at gunpoint. He was threatened that the videos would be made public if he reported the incident," the officer said.
The colonel has alleged that his purse, bag, gold chain, debit card and Rs. 12,000 in cash were stolen from the guest house.
After an unsuccessful attempt at locating the perpetrators himself, the colonel finally reported the incident to the Barsana police two days ago, he said.
"A case has been registered under relevant sections of the BNS and all facts are being investigated. Further action will be taken as per facts found in the investigation," the SHO said.
