Crude oil spill near Nagore – GK to take immediate action Vasan request

Chennai: Tamil Nadu Congress President G.K. has said that CBSIL and the Tamil Nadu government should take immediate action to prevent the pipeline from breaking and leaking crude oil near Nagor in Nagapattinam district. Vasan emphasized.

In a statement issued in this regard, he said, “There has been a rupture in the crude oil pipeline laid under the sea for the purpose of transporting crude oil to the ship. While the pipeline from CBCL company to Pattinacherry fishing village of Nagor has been installed, the pipeline at Pattincherry beach has ruptured and crude oil is leaking into the sea. Due to this the local people and fishermen feel insecure.

The people of the area fear that their livelihood will be affected as crude oil has already leaked twice in the pipeline. Crude oil spills can harm the environment and harm all living things. Therefore, the mixing of crude oil in the sea will affect the fish species.

Residents of the area have lost hope due to frequent crude oil spills and pipeline breaks being repaired. A permanent solution to the problem of crude oil spillage should be found. Sicil company can use new technology to prevent further crude oil spills. The Sicil company has to ensure that there is no leakage of crude oil. The Tamil Nadu government should also take appropriate action to prevent such crude oil spills from happening again,” it said.
