Seaman said that properly trained people with safety equipment should be engaged in oil waste disposal.
In a statement issued by Seeman, the chief coordinator of Nam Tamilar Party, it is stated that:-
Is CPCL oil company’s fault to dump the oil waste released by fisherfolk? Innocent people are victimized by the carelessness of the government,Has DMK’s Dravidian model government dared to victimize innocent people?
Leaving only properly trained personnel with proper safety equipment to handle oil spills, Involving fishermen without providing them with any safety equipment is not only unbecoming of good governance but also a violation of basic human rights.
“You voted for us with these hands”, is this an act of DMK to punish the same hands of the poor people under its rule seems to ask.
CPCL, which has been speaking in one way in the National Green Tribunal and the other way around in the field, Unless the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board is also to be punished for neglecting it properly,Not the fisherfolk whose livelihoods have already been affected by heavy rains and oil spills.
Tamilnadu government should stop this deadly act immediately. Properly trained personnel with safety equipment are responsible for removing oil spills. Also, appropriate medical treatment for those who have been involved in this dangerous activity so far, The Tamil Nadu government should also provide disaster relief assistance.
