Second red mud spill reported in Orissa
The Norwegian government seemed to have got it right when it dumped its holding in London-listed Vedanta in 2007, effectively damning the company as a “serial offender”. In late 2010 the company was found guilty of polluting a river in Zambia, just four years after it did almost exactly the same thing. Then, last week – and only a month after toxic wastes cascaded from a breach in its red mud pond at the Lanjigarh alumina refinery in Orissa – there’s been another, virtually copycat spill.
