State-run Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) on Sunday said last week’s “minor” oil spill near Uran in Mumbai did not cause any loss to the fishing and farming communities in the area.
“In the morning hours of September 8, 2023, a minor quantity of oil leaked from one of the crude oil storage tanks at ONGC Uran Plant. Due to heavy rains, the leaked oil entered the stormwater drain channel,” ONGC said in a press statement, adding that since the volume of oil that leaked from the plant was minimal, it got trapped between the rocks on the beach, with only traces reaching the shoreline.
