Vasco: Sankalp Amonkar, MLA of Mormugao, on Tuesday led a delegation to meet officials of Adani Group over complaints of foul smell during coal handling operations at the port.
Amonkar sought an explanation from the company regarding the recurring odour issues and demanded a written assurance outlining corrective measures along with a clear timeline to resolve the problem.
Addressing reporters after the meeting, the MLA said that residents have repeatedly raised concerns about pollution and foul smell allegedly emanating during coal handling activities. He stressed that public health and environmental safety cannot be compromised.
“The fight against the MPA and coal handling units will continue until pollution concerns are properly addressed,” Amonkar said, warning that the agitation will persist if concrete steps are not taken.
He added that the company has assured the delegation that it will provide written commitments within 24 hours detailing the corrective actions and proposed timeline.
