Headline: Environmental disaster: Oil spill in Goa Source: NDTV. Saturday, October 2, 2004 (Vasco da Gama): http://www.ndtv.com/topstories/showtopstory.asp?slug=Environmental+disaster%3A+Oil+spill+in+Goa&id=15387 Full text: In what could be a major environmental disaster in Goa, close to 5000 litres of oil from a storage tank has spilled into the sea at the Kharewaddo jetty in Vasco da Gama. The leakage was noticed on Friday evening when fishing trawlers began to arrive with their catch. The panic-stricken fishing community along the Kharewaddo coast began to put off their gas cylinders and fire stoves, fearing a possible blast in the area. Trawlers that were docked along the jetty were immediately shifted to another location in order to enable the fire services to carry out their operation at the site. ===================================== --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
