Gas and oil leakage of Baghjan site of Oil India in Assam has became fatal to the flora and fauna of the Island and its surrounding area.
River Dibru
Aquafauna specially fish and dolphins are in high threat as surface water of River Dibru, and its tributaries along with Maguri Motapung Wetland complex are under oil cover. Its mandatory to mention that fishing is one among major livelihood activity in the area. Now oil leakage is killing the fish. We cannot forget this the breeding season of most species of fish.

A baby of Dolphin is floating over water. This is the situation of a endangered species.
Many people has opposed the construction of oil pipeline over Maguri Motapung including me. Still it has been constructed.
Recently saw the news that Oil India got the clearance for drilling in 5 places of Dibru Saikhowa National Park . Really pathetic....
Now situation is like this that all plants are wearing oil cover. People around 5km surrounding Baghjan area are shifted to shelter centres admist corona. Are they maintaining the social diatance as imposed?
Still people are not vocal.
You know why? The raising voices are normally sold out to the corporates at crucial point leaving all the true environment lovers in midway - An activist said in recent conversation.
