1,300-tonne sulphuric acid removed from TN Sterlite plant
Days after a sulphuric acid leak was reported at Vedanta's Sterlite copper plant in Tamil Nadu's Tuticorin, District Collector Sandeep Nanduri said 1,300 tonnes of the acid have been removed from the site. While authorities had dismissed the incident as a minor leak, Vedanta had moved the Madras High Court claiming that government's inaction could lead to severe environmental consequences.
