Panaji: After the big blob of the left tar crosses the coast of Goa stretching injured with black substances, Minister of Environment Nilesh Cabral said that this was one of the worst emergence of Tarball deposits seen on Goa Beach.
Cabral said that the country would write to the center again on this problem, because the country had a slight control over the source of this tarball.
“Last year, we had collected samples and NIOs had tested them to ensure where they came from.
The findings, they came from rigs near Mumbai High last time.
We have submitted a report to the Minister of Environment Union Environment Prakash Javadekar, but the minister has changed Since then.
We will write again to them now, “said Cabral Toi.
Cabral said that Tarball had appeared not only on Goa beach this week, but their appearance was seen along the west coast of India.
“This time, the origin of tar can be different.
We have to test it again and send a report to the center.
We as a country have a few roles to be played in this case.
I believe they appear along the west coast and not only on Goa Beach, according to the report, “said Cabral.
He said it was surprising because the occurrence should be reduced given that there was a limited oil tanker movement in the sea since the pandemic.
“The movement of oil tankers has decreased a lot because of restrictions related to pandemics.
Previously, tar was considered to be from oil tankers.
But it was surprising that widespread deposits were seen this year despite the reduced movement of tankers.
This year, Tarbola on Goa Beach is far more than before,” said Cabral.
Tarball stores the mystery on Goa Beach, will write to the center: Minister of Environment Nilesh Cabral
