According to a press release, crude oil started leaking from the pipeline after personnel of an external agency, which is not related to MRPL, accidentally hit the pipeline while doing ground work in Thokur.

Ramesh Poojary from MRPL’s administration department was the first to spot the leak, while he was passing by that road.

He got of his vehicle and took preliminary measures to stop the leak before alerting the MRPL maintenance wing personnel. The maintenance wing personnel arrived at the spot after a few minutes and plugged the leak, the release said.

Not safety procedure followed by the maintenance staff. really feel shame to see the photo. Safe work culture should be practiced. they should terminate the supervisor who allowed them to work without proper PPE. Management should respect Human Values because if in case of loss to the employee only his family will suffer.
