Green Belts as Pollution Sinks
- Scientifically designed green belts have been developed
at IndianOil's Gujarat and Panipat refineries
to serve as pollution sinks and to enhance the aesthetic
look of the refinery area.
- Extensive tree plantation has been undertaken by Guwahati,
Digboi, Mathura, Haldia and Barauni refineries and townships
to develop green cover.
- Mathura Refinery has planted about 115,000 trees in
the Taj Reserve Forest near Taj Mahal under the 10-Point
Initiative of the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural
Gas for improvement of environment in the Taj Trapezium.
-
Mathura Refinery has developed a sprawling area of 18,000
sq. m. around its polishing ponds into an ecological
park. A large number of migratory birds have made the
ecological park as their habitat. Experts from the Bombay
Natural History Society (BNHS) have identified about
96 varieties of birds in the park. Similar parks have
also been developed at Barauni and Gujarat refineries.
-
The existence of rich flora and fauna in these parks
is a clear testimony of the clean and eco-friendly environment
in and around the refineries. The other refineries are
in the process of developing such ecological parks.
