Oil Spilling, Oil Spilt.

The thing that I noticed about reading newspaper is that you cannot read an issue and say finished, you will have to track it down daily. Every day there are changes and newer information that reveal their true picture.

Oil spillage in Mumbai coast has far been the most dug issue during recent times. One of the reason may be that we have never faced it before. It seems like a Hollywood movie to all of us. The climax was good, but the response from us wasn't good. No one knows what to do with the spillage. How to deal with it. We have a general tradition in our country that we burn wastes. Can this be burnt? Of course it can. Should we burn it? No, we shouldn't. It will just increase air pollution in the surrounding areas. Then what can be done. I don't know. Then you may ask what is the point of you being educated. I would still say, I don't know.

For the time being let us keep this aside and not try to wash it away with water. The spillage is just too much for volunteers. They can begin the task but cannot finish it. At the most what we can do is transport them to some far off places where there are no people living, where only rats and other rodents thrive. Was it too much to digest? Forget rats, read only rodents. We can also pack them and dump it deep into the sea away from our coast. Most land pollution can be dealt in this way. So take a Khilijia -IV or a Chitra - II and dump the waste in the nearby Antartic.
