Bharat Petroleum [BPCL] — noise and fire hazard

Address:

642104

I am writing this to request your help, guidance, leadership, and intervention to fix a very adverse situation. The situation is causing not only huge noise & environmental pollution but also leading to eminent danger to many who live and visit the area.

I am resident of anaimalai, pollachi taluk. As you are aware that arulmigu maasani amman temple is most visited throughout the year and devotees throng from all over india.in the middle of this busy location is the petrol pumping station located on the sethumadi road near the entrance of the temple. This petrol pump seems to have a couple of major issues that cause noise and environmental pollution along with a great danger to many lives and people visit every day.

They run a very noisy old generator. The noise and smoke levels are very high and make the living around the area untenable. People live around suffer intensely. It also causes severe vibration creating cracks on the walls. This has actually resulted in a lot of problems to elders living in the house and people live there.

The second issue has graver and has imminent threats to lives and property around the area. Generator (Very old open type) is placed close to the mouth of the petrol reservoir / underground tank where a large quantity of petrol is stored for pumping. Any slight spark (Which can happen at any point) can cause a major fire hazard and cause danger to people who live, visit and the properties around.

As a resident, we request your immediate intervention to move the generator to a safer location and save the people who live around. Your help and timely intervention will not only create a peaceful atmosphere but also will create a very safe place for all the devotees, who visit the temple.

People in the village have a great deal of respect for the owners and do tolerate this, hoping they will be responsible to solve the situation. It has been years and the situation is being ignored. I am sure they can be persuaded to take a quick action. With the increasing crowd and the generator getting older, the probability of the accident is increasing rapidly as every day pass by.

We kindly request your intervention to solve this problem and thank you so much for taking time to review the mail. Looking forward to your swift action on this matter.
