Police shut down hazardous go-gas refill plant in Moraj village of Tarapur

Tarapur police conducted a sudden raid on a hazardous go-gas refilling plant operating in the outskirts of Moraj village in Tarapur taluka of Anand district and shut it down with immediate effect. According to a report by Sandesh, this plant, registered under the name 'Confidence Petroleum India Limited', was engaged in filling gas into industrial and domestic cylinders, but investigations revealed that all safety standards were being openly violated here.

During the police investigation, serious negligence came to light at the plant. Approximately 12 employees working here were performing hazardous tasks without any type of safety equipment or protective gear. Additionally, the fire safety equipment installed in the plant and its certification had expired long ago. As this situation was akin to inviting a major accident, the police took prompt action. The police have also officially notified the supply department regarding this matter.

Despite this plant operating within the village limits for a long time, the fact that no steps were taken by the local Gram Panchayat or the Sarpanch has become a subject of great surprise and discussion among the villagers. Had the police not acted in time, there was every possibility of significant loss of life.
