Altogether, 1,390 families will get Rs 30,000 as immediate relief.

The OIL in its letter said as decided in the meeting held on June 5, “we are keen to pay the compensation for the damage to property inclusive of houses, livestock, agriculture land etc. arrived at as per due to procedure”.

“At this stage, we would like to mention that due to intermittent protest by various organisation/ pressure groups our operations are affected resulting in an average production of around 8,200 MT per day against the potential to produce more than 9,500 MT per day,” the letter said.
