The IndianOil Corporation Limited (IOCL) refinery has deposited Rs 42-crore fine for the environmental damage in villages near it. No concrete action plan for the restoration of the environment was made during the last four years. Now, the district administration has sought detailed revised proposals for the environmental restoration in villages near the IOCL refinery from the forest, public health and health departments.
