Industrial Accident at Ankleshwar, Gujarat

Accident happened at the Common Incinerator of Bharuch Enviro Infrastructure Ltd on 3rd April 2008, at around 5:30 pm, in Ankleshwar town in Gujarat, India

Even after 24 hours of the accident, the company officials and Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) said they did not know what was the cause of fire and did not know what chemicals were burning

This is so similar to the fact that people of Bhopal were not informed of what gas was being leaked from the Union Carbide factory there in 1984

GPCB was not even monitoring VOCs, dioxins and furans or heavy metals at the fire site

While the flames have gone down, a lot of drums are very hot and an exothermic reaction is going on in those drums and the company is cooling them with a lot of water, which in turn is going to pollute the ground water.
