Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: The Indian Platform on Ship (IPOS) breaking that had alleged that Platinum-II contained toxic and radioactive material on Friday said the report of the central committee vindicated its submission to the Union Environment and Forests Ministry that the vessel contained poly chloride bi-phenyles, asbestos and radioactive material in the structure.

In a statement , IPOS convenor Gopal Krishna said there would never be a situation wherein hazardous wastes will be found in a virgin form, it would always be embedded in the structure of dead vessels like Platinum II.

“I am disappointed with the central committee’s report failure to take cognisance of the conviction order of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and its statement in the matter of Platinum II. It must be taken cognisance of at the earliest.”
