Vedanta's offer of producing oxygen @ sealed & shut Thoothukudi copper smelter complex is duplicitous & must be rejected. Reasons why and how to reject without compromising state's ability to source extra oxygen. #BanSterlite 1/n
The plant is shutdown by weight of two separate orders. 1) for a serious violation of safety norms & causing massive SO2 gas leak in March 2013 that injured 1000s in Thoothukudi. 2) a permanent closure order by GoTN in May 2018. #BanSterlite 2/n
Both closure orders were confirmed by Madras High Court in August 2020, highlighting fraud committed by company and the “supine indifference on the part of the [Vedanta] in compliance with the [license] conditions.” #BanSterlite 3/n
