The purpose of the visit was to register concerns over pollution and to obtain information on the operation and activities of the plant. The meeting was cordial and lengthy with the officials keen to explain to the ESG their mechanisms for pollution prevention and control. An extensive presentation and discussion followed and contacts were made with the officials responsible for overseeing the safe operation of the plant.
