Working Conditions Aboard the Ocean-Wealth

In a remarkable display of teamwork, approximately 300 workers undertook an extensive cleanup operation at Rushikulya beach, following an oil leak incident involving the vessel 'Malavika.' This event occurred just three days after the 'Malavika' sustained damage from a barge during unloading activities at Gopalbur, resulting in a crack in its fuel tank. Under the vigilant supervision of Coast Guard personnel, nearly 100% of the 8 tons of oil that had spilled into the ocean has been removed from the beach, showcasing a swift and effective response to the environmental threat.
