For all those who said it's just okay to dig for oil in National Park areas - FIRST the oil spilled and the company can't clean it up (it's been over ten days). Countless animals have died in an endemic area

To jog our memory, the Environment Ministry has just given permission for oil exploration inside Dibru-Saikhowa national Park. This riverine area is an enclyclopedia of restricted range, endemic species: Bengal Florican, White winged duck, possibly even the White-bellied heron.
From the grant of environmental clearance for oil exploration inside dibru-saikhowa national park: "oil spillage prevention plan be prepared. In case of oil spill, action plan be made to clean site." They can't even clean at older sites, so we reward them with newer sites.
And two firefighters have lost their lives too! Such a tragedy!
