3 Compliance by CGPL with the Environmental, Health & Safety

Requirements

3.1 Compliance to IFC & ADB Requirements

This section in brief outlines the environmental performance of the project for the period FY

2013-14 in consistent with the IFC Performance Standards & EHS Guidelines, ADB

Summary Environmental Impact Assessment including Environmental Management Plan

developed for the project. The assessment and findings matrix has been presented in Table 1

for necessary reference.

A. Environmental Performance

3.1.1 Environment Organization Structure & Capacity Building

CGPL has engaged a Senior Environment Manager on-site since Mar 2014 as a step

towards strengthening the onsite environmental management team to address environmental

aspects of the project, facilitate regulatory liasioning and corporate sustainability initiatives

specific to the region. The Senior Environmental Manager is currently being supported

by an Executive- Environment. Further CGPL also has in place a fully equipped

environmental laboratory to perform monitoring of pollutants in flue gas and ambient

air and recording of meteorological data. Additionally both manual and online monitoring

of cooling water temperature is being undertaken at various stretches along the outfall

channel including the point of discharge.

3.1.2 Integrated Management System (IMS) Development

CGPL in coordination with an external consultant has prepared the draft IMS which is to

subjected to a State I audit during April 2014. Review of the IMS procedures on environment

management reveals the absence of key procedures related to baseline environmental

monitoring, performance evaluation of pollution abatement systems and

regulatory/stakeholder reporting. Further applicable funding agency requirements have

not been adequately covered as part of this IMS. Stage I IMS audit to be initiated on a

fast track basis including fulfillment of gaps identified towards sufficiency of the

environmental management procedures.

3.1.3 Consent Management

CGPL is assessed to possess valid environmental permits/consents for project operations,

hazardous and biomedical waste management from Gujarat Pollution Control Board, MoEF

and is carrying out periodic compliance reporting to these regulatory authorities as required

under specific consent conditions. However reportedly CGPL is in the process of

amendment of the consent condition related to the stringent flue gas emission standards

specified in the consent given the standards are below the national standards and also

Annual Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY 13-14) – CGPL Power Plant, Mundra

July 2014 5 SENES

taking into account the considerable challenges and design limitation associated to meet

the same.

3.1.4 Coal Quality & Consumption

CGPL is currently utilizing blended coal (68% Ecocoal, 30% Melawan coal and 2% SA coal)

for operation of all the 5 units; however the use of SA coal is limited and it is primarily Eco-

Melawan blend which is being used. Review of the coal quality and consumption records for

the period 2013-14 reveal that the CGPL is currently in compliance to the project

Environmental Clearance (EC) requirement to this aspect. However CGPL need to

periodically monitoring the consumption of coal and also update the EMP by

suggestions/recommendations made in the study report on blended coal prepared by the

external consultant.

3.1.5 Fly Ash Management

Review of fly ash generation and utilization records for the period 2013-14 reveals generation

of 532093 tonnes of ash of which nearly 25% has been utilized through sale to Sanghi and

Binani cements while the remaining has been disposed in ash dyke. As discussed earlier

CGPL has now finalized the ―Fly Ash Utilization Note‖ prepared to facilitate 50% ash

utilization in the first year and currently in the process of driving implementation of fly ash

utilization proposal to this regard. This includes – a) use of fly ash in Ready Mix Concrete

based on the fly ash market in Mumbai b) export of fly ash through M/s Dr. Hemant

Nadkarni and Associates c) utilization of fly ash in value added products viz. Pozzo Slag and

Sand Aggregate and d) sale of fly ash to Ambuja Cement for their Kodinar Plant. In view of

the above discussion CGPL need to put on fast track the implementation of fly ash

utilization option to achieve the 75% utilization target for 2nd

year as per the

requirement of Fly Ash Notification dated 2009 and also periodically update the

lenders/stakeholder on the overall implementation status.

3.1.6 Ash Pond – Structural Integrity & Leachate Collection

The ash pond at the project site was found to be subjected to potential stress resulting from

movement of heavy vehicles and indiscriminate disposal of ash along the dyke walls has

led to overflow of ash pond supernatant from toe drains including erosion of

downstream slope of dyke. Based on the aforesaid scenario CGPL has now prepared an

―Ash Pond Inspection Checklist‖ and engaged a Cross Functional Team (CFT) to periodically

monitor the performance of ash pond. Further a joint internal audit has been conducted by

both CGPL and TCE to develop an action plan to resolve the ash pond performance and

maintenance issues. Reportedly and as observed CGPL has initiated the implementation of

the action plan to address ash pond stability related problems however the progress of

the same need to be verified during the subsequent audits.

3.1.7 Hazardous Waste Management

Biomedical waste generated from the onsite CGPL Occupational Health Centre is being

managed through waste disposal facility operated by Distromed Bio Clean Pvt. Ltd at

Kuvadwa, Rajkot. With respect to biomedical waste management, CGPL is found to be in

compliance with the relevant provision of Biomedical Waste (Management & Handling)

Rules 1998 (as amended 2011) having valid authorization, records maintained and annual

reports submitted to relevant authorities.

CGPL possess valid hazardous waste authorization (expiring on May 2016) from GPCB as

occupier of the facility generating the following hazardous wastes viz. used oil, discarded

chemical containers, spent ion exchange resins, chemical sludge from waste treatment, waste

residue containing oil, spent solvents etc. Also as required under the provision of Hazardous

Waste (Management, Handling &Transboundary Movement) Rules 2008 CGPL is

continuing with the submission of annual returns specifying details of hazardous waste

disposal to GPCB in prescribed format. For the period 2013-14 a total of 31.8 MT of used oil

and been disposed through M/s N. K. Lubricants Pvt. Ltd. – an authorized hazardous waste

recycler.

ETP sludge (identified as hazardous waste under Hazardous Waste Rules) generated from

effluent treatment is being disposed in lined ash pond instead of the GPCB authorized TSDF

facility of M/s SEPPL as required under the waste authorization issued. The ETP sludge has

been analyzed to be of non-hazardous nature and the same has been communicated to GPCB

to seek necessary amendment in the waste authorization. CGPL to proactively liase with

GPCB to facilitate amendment of the “Consolidated Consent & Authorization” issued

with respect to ETP sludge disposal.

With respect to storage the hazardous waste storage area, it was found to lack display of

danger signages, proper labeling of waste containers and provisions of fire-fighting

equipment which need to be made available to address any emergency situations and

comply with consent/permit requirements.

3.1.8 Management of Cooling Water Discharge

The online monitoring of cooling water temperature near ash silo bridge and manual

monitoring near retaining wall for the period 2013-14 reveals a maximum average

temperature difference of 4.85 and 4.60°C respectively. This is found to be in compliance

with the temperature difference standard of 7ºC specified at the cooling water discharge point

by EC Amendment condition dated 5th April’07.

With all five units in operation, CGPL has engaged NIO for carrying out validation modeling

for temperature and salinity dispersion at the cooling water discharge location. Field study to

this regard has been completed by NIO in December 2013 with data analysis under progress.

It is recommended that EMP is updated based on the NIO Model Conformity Study

output.

Annual Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY 13-14) – CGPL Power Plant, Mundra

July 2014 7 SENES

On the shoreline erosion related concern raised by Tragadi villages from dredging activities,

with respect to increase in shoreline erosion from dredging activities, necessary efforts has

been made by CGPL to stabilize the shore through use of concrete blocks along a

portion of the coastal stretch. Further discussions are in progress with the village

inhabitants for laying concrete blocks along the remaining stretch.

3.1.9 Performance of Waste Water Treatment Facilities

Sewage generated onsite is being managed through commissioning and operation of sewage

treatment plants (STPs) at the labour colonies (2 X 500 KLD capacity) and project site.

However the performance of STPs installed at the labor colonies were found to be adversely

affected and non-functional due to corrosion and leaks in the piping network and control

valves. Hence it is necessary for CGPL to initiate immediate replacement and/or repair of

the labour colony STP pipeline network. At the same time CGPL also need develop and

implement periodic inspection checklists to evaluate the performance of the waste water

treatment facilities.

Due to the non-functioning of the labour colony STPs no treated water monitoring results

were available for review throughout the year except for the Apr-Jun’13 quarter. The results

of the project site STP was found to function satisfactorily with the treated water monitoring

results complying with the standards specified in the consent. In view of this it is

recommended for CGPL to conduct periodic inspection of the STPs and supervise O&M

vendor performance and capability as found to be necessary.

Owing to the non-functioning of the STPs untreated sewage was found to be used for green

belt development activities thereby non-complying with the legal requirements. CGPL need

to immediately discontinue the reuse of untreated sewage for green belt development

given the potential liability and legal compliance related issues/risks.

An effluent treatment plant (ETP) of capacity 55m3/hr has been commissioned and

operational since April ’11 to treat the run-off/drainage from coal stockpile, boiler blow down

and condenser cooling water (for once through cooling system). Review of effluent (ETP

treated water in guard pond) monitoring records for the period 2013-14 in nearly 99% of the

cases reveals compliance to the parameters specified by CPCB for Thermal Power Plant

Effluents under Environmental Protection Rules 1986.

With regard to ash pond dewatering activities owing to the O&M activities in progress the

former was found to be discharged into the outfall channel following monitoring of

parameters (pH, suspended solids and oil & grease) specified in the consent condition.

However CGPL also need to assess the quality of ash pond effluent with respect to the

presence of any heavy metals as outlined in the World Bank Guidelines for Thermal

Power Plants.

Annual Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY 13-14) – CGPL Power Plant, Mundra

July 2014 8 SENES

3.1.10 Flue Gas Emissions & ESP Performance

CGPL performs regular monitoring of flue gas emissions both online using Continuous

Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) and manually to check conformance with the emission

standards specified by World Bank Group Guidelines for Thermal Power Plants at same time

evaluating the performance of electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) and low NOx burners

installed as air pollution control devices.

Statistical analysis of online monitoring data for flue gas emission for the period 2013-14

reveals that the average values of all pollutants to be in compliance in to World Bank

emission standards. However with respect to the 98th

percentile values exceedances were

observed in few cases for PM and NOx owing to the initial start up and shut down operation

during the Apr-Jun’13 quarter.

Interpretation of manual monitoring results in all cases reveals compliance to the World Bank

emission standards but failed to meet the standards specified for these pollutants in the

consolidated consent issued. Hence it is recommended that CGPL liase with GPCB to

facilitate the fast track amendment of the consent conditions related to flue gas emission

standards. In this regard CGPL has also assessed the challenges for unable to meet the

standards specified in the legal document and the same has been communicated to

GPCB vide the amendment application.

3.1.11 Ground Water Monitoring

The quality of ground water near ash pond area is being assessed by CGPL through regular

monitoring of the bore wells installed within the project site. The ground water conforms to

IS 10500 drinking water standards for all parameters except for fluoride, total dissolved

solids (TDS), chloride, lead, iron coliforms and turbidity. For all quarters the average values

of turbidity, fluoride, TDS chloride and coliforms has been found to be exceeding the

drinking water quality standards specified for these parameters. High TDS and chloride

concentration in the bore well samples is characteristic of the ground water quality in this

region. However for fluoride it is likely to be contributed by fly ash leachate based on which

it is recommended that CGPL undertakes ash pond leachate analysis for fluoride.

3.1.12 Ambient Air & Noise Quality Monitoring

CGPL continues to assess the potential impacts of the project operations on ambient

environment through monthly monitoring of air and noise quality at various receptor

locations. The receptor locations have been selected based on their proximity to the project

facilities viz. coal conveyor, coal stockpile etc, predominant wind direction and topography.

Review of village level ambient air quality monitoring data reveals compliance to National

Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) except for PM10 (99.8-172.3 µg/m3) which is

found to exceed the standard (100 µg/m3) specified for this pollutant in all cases. This is

typical for coastal locations in this region and also attributed due to the proximity of some

villages viz. Vandh to the coal conveyors of Adani and CGPL thermal power plants.

Annual Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY 13-14) – CGPL Power Plant, Mundra

July 2014 9 SENES

Similarly the ambient air quality within project premises was also found to be in compliance

to the NAAQS except for PM with values ranging within 104.5-164.0 µg/m3.

Day time noise level monitored at the receptor locations were found to be in compliance with

the day time noise standards with slight exceedance noted for Vandh village for the first

quarter. However for night time the noise level at all locations exceeded the night time

standards and was primarily high in case of Vandh village which is located in close proximity

to Adani and CGPL coal conveyors. In view of this CGPL has already adopted necessary

control measures viz. use of closed conveyors, peripheral green belt development etc. and is

also carrying out periodic monitoring to assess the efficiency of the management measures

and plan necessary intervention, as may be required. For noise monitored within project

premises all values were found to be complying with the day and night time noise standard

specified in the CC&A.

3.1.13 Green Belt Development & Mangrove Afforestation

Green belt development program has been implemented by CGPL throughout the project site

particularly near the ICSH area, ash pond etc. which have been identified as potential fugitive

emission sources. For the period 2013-14 a total of 515876 saplings have been planted

covering an area of~230 ha with an average survival rate ~95.7%. This represents nearly 19%

of the project area (1242 ha) as compared to 33% which is required to be covered under green

belt in accordance to the EC requirement. During the period of review CGPL has planned to

cover 383 Ha of area for green belt by July, 2014. CGPL need to sustain with the green

belt development progress to ensure compliance with the EC condition and also to

maintain heterogeneity of plant species being used (particularly those tolerant to fly ash

and sulphur dioxide) and further improve upon the species survival rate.

In addition to green belt development, CGPL has completed mangrove afforestation along

with Gujarat Ecological Commission and Kantiyajal Tavar Vikas Samiti (KTVS)at coastal

village of Kantiyajal encompassing 1000 ha of land thereby complying with the CRZ

clearance requirement.

environmental and social implication of blended

coal use (70% Ecocoal and 30% Melawan coal).

Though the study has not revealed any potential

environmental risks in terms of increased coal

consumption, augmentation of coal handling &

transport system and existing pollution control

equipment etc it has specified the need of increase

in operational time of Internal Coal Handling

System (ICHS) and increase in handling of coal

quantities at the West Port resulting from blended

coal use. The study also recognizes adequate

storage and fugitive emission control facilities at

4 Old Quality of blended coal In order to meet the challenges associated with the

increase in imported coal prices, CGPL is

presently utilizing low calorific blended coal.

Review of quality reports for blended coal (Eco,

Melawan & SA) used during the period 2013-14

through sale to Sanghi and Binani cement units.

However this is found to be below the 50%

threshold to be achieved for 1st year of project

operation as per legal requirement. The fly ash

generation and utilization report as submitted to

MoEF for 2013-14 is provided in Annexure 4.

Presently utilization of fly ash through the

aforesaid industries is still being continued along

planning to send a trial shipment of 1500 MT

to Mumbai to explore the feasibility of this

option.

Fly Ash Export: A three year contract signed

with M/s Dr. Hemant Nadkarni & Associates

for export of fly ash. Trial shipment already

sent with a quantity of 250000MT/annum

expected to be exported till 2017.

Use in Value Added Products: Use of fly ash

in the preparation of PozzoSlag and Sand

Aggregate is being evaluated in coordination

with M/s VHSC and M/s Zaaksand, Germany

respectively.

Use in Cement Manufacturing: In addition to

Binani and Sanghi Cement, CGPL has plans

to sell fly ash to Ambuja Cement for their

Kodinar Plant for which a 10 year contract is

at an advance stage of negotiation. Given

daily sale of 750 TPD of fly ash to Ambuja

the option is likely to prove sustainable if

implemented.

Requirements)

Chemical sludge generated from ETP is by default

considered as a hazardous waste and therefore

authorization for the generation, storage and

treatment/disposal (through authorized vendors)

for the same has been obtained from GPCB during

April 2013. Although it is required that the sludge

is disposed through GPCB authorized TSDF of

M/s SEPPL presently it is being disposed in the

ash pond. In this regard it has earlier been

recommended that CGPL undertake analysis of

the sludge for the presence of hazardous

components, if any and seek necessary

amendment to the CTO condition as found to be

necessary.

In view of the above CGPL has got the ETP

sludge analyzed for hazardous characteristics (if

any) through M/s Kadam Environmental

Consultants during Mar-13. Review of the report

indicates that the sludge is of non-hazardous

nature and the same has been communicated to

GPCB vide letter dated 4th June 2013 for

necessary response and action.

Amendment to the ―Consolidated Consent

Manual monitoring of flue gas for the period

2013-14 was found meet the World Bank

standards for the following pollutants: PM (22.2-

29.2 mg/Nm3), NOx (354.3-375.2 mg/Nm3) and

SO2 (729.8-801.3mg/Nm3). However the NOx

(172.8-183.0 ppm) and SO2 (255.2-280.2 ppm)

values exceeded the permissible limit specified for

these pollutants i.e. 50ppm for NOx and 100ppm

for SO2 in the CC&A issued by GPCB. Given that

the project has been designed and is being

operated for low sulfur content coal (<1%) and

low NOx burner rated at 385ppm CGPL considers

it challenging to meet this stringent standards

specified for both NOx and SO2. Although CGPL

by its application dated 11th Jan 2012 has

requested for amendment of certain specific

CC&A conditions by GPCB including flue gas

emission norms, no response to this regard has

been received till date. Further CGPL has also

assessed the limitations in being able to meet such

standards and the same has been shared with

Though the earlier observation made towards

repair of the damaged concrete tiling of the ash

pond has been addressed by CGPL the following

additional observations were made for the period

2013-14:

Potential stress on the dyke bunds and walls

resulting from movement of heavy vehicles

and indiscriminate disposal of bottom ash

along the ash pond slope was observed which

has led to overflow of the toe drains with ash

pond supernatant.

Downstream slope of dyke being subjected to

proper stabilization measures.

Localized deposition of bottom ash

through the discharge line due to its high

density leading to stress and subsequent

damage of the dyke walls.

well defined performance standards, procedures and guidelines (HIRA, SCAR, etc.), safety

awareness programs (Safety Time Out) and establishing key performance indicators (e.g. lost

time incidents, severity rate, near miss etc.), which are used to track compliance with Health

and Safety (H&S) targets. Now with project operations CGPL need to obtain IMS

certification on a fast track basis and ensure operational plans/procedures are in

consistent with the occupational health and safety requirements outlined in the IFC

EHS Guidelines.

With project now in full scale operation CGPL has in place a dedicated O&M team

comprising of Dept. Heads, Line Managers, and Operational Contractor taking care of O&M

as well as balance construction activities.

3.1.16 Safety Awareness Programs/Plans

Specific health and safety plans and onsite emergency plan have been developed &

augmented on regular basis by CGPL and communicated to contractors including the

operations team. The plans outline the policies and strategies, the organization, resources and

documentation required, the HS risk management principles, and reporting requirements.

With project under operation potential health and safety risks is currently limited to activities

like switchyard ―hot line washing‖, insulation, floor grating etc. for which necessary work

permits are being issued, audited and activities supervised by a dedicated project O&M team.

Various plans/initiatives viz. Safety Intervention Audits, Process Safety Management

the fatalities has resulted from injuries caused due to sudden falls of concrete slabs on a

contractor worker during unloading activities while the other fatality was caused due to fall of

an argon cylinder on a contractor worker. Necessary investigations have been carried out to

this regard with CGPL required to update the Contractor HSE Plan based on the

recommendations made as part of the investigation.

In addition to the above fatalities a major fire took place at the coal conveyor within the plant

premises and resulted in extensive damage to the conveyor leading to the stoppage of the

plant units. Investigation undertaken and preventive measures has been identified with CGPL

required to develop an action plan to implement the preventive and corrective measures

identified and implementation of the same need to be tracked on a regular basis. In this

regard CGPL has engaged a dedicated housekeeping team for CHP areas and a structured

Audit is also being carried out by ―FIAT – Fire Intervention Audit Team ―with an objective

of improved housekeeping. Further an Area Audit concept is implemented and is being

tracked through Maintenance Planning departments.

3.1.18 Non-Ionization Radiation

CGPL in coordination with PGCIL need to assess the occupational risks related to EMF

exposure from power transmission lines as per the provision of IFC EHS Guidelines for

Thermal Power Plant and develop and implement an EMF safety program. As reported by

CGPL PGCIL complies with international norms for field strength limits, which are certified

by Power Technologies Inc. where power grid employs international certified equipment in their

lines. However this needs to be assessed and verified during the subsequent audits to be undertaken.

4 New Use of blended coal As earlier discussed CGPL has carried out a stand-

alone study through M/s VishuddhEnvirotech to

assess the environmental and social implication

associated with the use of blended coal. The study

identifies that the use of blended coal will be

leading to the increase in coal handling capacity at

West Port and augmentation of operational time of

ICSH.

In line with the earlier audit recommendation

CGPL is yet to assess the fire safety preparedness

at West Port and potential safety risks, if any due

to increase in operational time of ICHS. This gain

importance taking into account the coal conveyor

fire incident reported in the last quarter.

Although necessary preventive measures have

been taken by CGPL to address the risk through i)

improvement of housekeeping at the ICHS area

through engagement of a dedicated contractor

having adequate manpower and ii) complying with

the ICHS preventive maintenance schedule.

However this should be supported by assessing the

potential health and safety risks resulting from the

increase in ICHS operational time.

Assess and evaluate i) fire safety

preparedness at West Port due to increased

coal storage and handling and ii) potential

safety risk, if any due to increase in ICHS

operational time.

Education

Livelihood Generation.

4.1.2 Grievance Redressal Mechanism

A commitment was made by CGPL to improve the GRM through the implementation of a

online computerized Grievance Redressal Management System which is now under

implementation. GRM currently being followed is thus stronger than the one being previously

followed and commented upon earlier. Currently oral feedback or replies are made to the person

raising the grievance

4.1.3 Stakeholder Engagement Plan

A dedicated coordinator is placed in the Community Information Centre (CIC) which is

functioning under the aegis of Community Relations (CR)-CGPL. CIC is one of those

aspects, where the community comes with their suggestions and/or complaints.

Documentation and reporting has become more comprehensive, and is being carried out by

Project Partner called ―Fourth Wheel‖. Current reports including Social Audit Reports,

Project reports from partner NGOs, internal reports, Minutes of meetings, photo

maintained regularly as per requirement. Stakeholder focused documentation and

communication newsletters are also being circulated now.. Documentation of key events has

also been undertaken alongwith preparation of the beneficiary lists. Some reports are one

time reports, but regular monthly, quarterly and annual reports are now prepared and

circulated among stakeholders. Documents and database of Land Sellers/Titleholders has

been prepared and maintained by CGPL.

A direct communication with the communities in the local language through newsletters to

highlight programs and individuals success stories is also showcased. CIC is now enhanced to

meet the requirements as were envisaged during the planning and setting up of the CIC.

4.1.4 Community Development Plan

Community Development Plan (CDP) has been prepared in fulfillment of IFC requirements.

CDP is based on the thematic areas identified and approved for CSR interventions for Tata

Power and contains all programs and initiatives by CGPL at Mundra.

There is both internal and external monitoring of CSR activities. The CDP with Annual

Business Plan (ABP) is now the basis for CSR activities for the following year. Annual status

report of completed activities is also prepared for the preceding year. The ABP developed by

CGPL encompasses the need of the communities, commitments of CGPL that are required to

comply with the commitments to lenders, and those even beyond the compliance

requirements. This is also periodically reviewed by CGPL.

Pollution Prevention and Abatement

12 General Requirements New Design stage pollution prevention

measures have been found to be

adequate. However given such pollution

control technologies have been designed

based on Indonesian imported coal

characteristics taking into account the

uncertainties associated with the supply

of imported coal due to unprecedented

rise in price in Indonesian coal prices it

is likely to have a bearing on the existing

pollution prevention measures if

alternative options are being considered

by CGPL.

Assess and evaluate the potential EHS

impacts associated with alternative coal

sourcing options being considered and

communicate the same to the

concerned regulatory authorities &

stakeholders for necessary reference

and action.

High With CGPL currently catering

to the use of Eco Blend coal

(characterized by higher ash

content compared to imported

coal) an external agency has

been engaged to assess the

environmental implications of

use such blended coal. The

study has not revealed any

potential environmental risks in

terms of increased coal

consumption, augmentation of

coal handling & transport

system and existing pollution

control equipment etc it has

specified the need of increase in

operational time of Internal

Coal Handling System (ICHS)

22 Community exposure to

diseases

Old Currently awareness on potential

community exposures to disease

especially due to large labour influx is

non existence. This specific concern

gains prominence due to sparse local

population and a very high regional

labour influx

Review potential sources of such

community exposure (transferable

diseases) and build sufficient capacity

with the onsite health infrastructure to

be able to address this concern.

Low With the project completely

under operation there has been a

steady decline of contractor

workforce engaged for

construction. With the those

currently staying at the labour

camps and working onsite the

medical records and the

discussion with medical staff do

not reveal presence or treatment

of any worker for transferable

disease till date. Further
