The Vedanta Aluminium provided leaf blowers to the District Forest Office, Jharsuguda to aid the district administration’s efforts at mitigating forest fires in the vicinity.
CEO-Vedanta Limited, Jharsuguda, Sunil Gupta handed over the leaf blowers to District Forest Officer, Jharsuguda Lalit Kumar Patra. With most fire incidents starting as ground fires caused by accumulation of inflammable materials such as dry leaves and twigs, simple yet effective measures such as leaf blowers help in preventing forest fire incidents to a great extent.
Speaking on Vedanta Aluminium’s safety-first culture, CEO Gupta said, “Initiatives like this, which support the local administration in disaster preparedness is one of the many ways through which we help safeguard our communities. The ethos of Zero Harm, Zero Waste and Zero Discharge are instilled in our DNA.”
