A high-level technical team, headed by R. Vijayabaskaran, Member Secretary (in-charge), Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board, is likely to visit on Wednesday the Sterlite Copper factory premises in SIPCOT Industrial Complex, which remains sealed after police firing in the anti-Sterlite protest in May 2018 that claimed 13 lives.
The purpose of this visit is to ascertain the present condition of the machineries of the chemical plant and allied facilities, which are corroding due to ‘zero maintenance’ for more than three years.
As the copper manufacturing unit was sealed in May 2018 following unsavoury developments, the Sterlite Copper management approached the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court seeking permission to maintain its rapidly corroding machineries and the acid storage tanks. After the court turned down the plea, Sterlite Copper has approached the Supreme Court against this verdict.
