Oil Slick Threatens the Poor, Beach.
Orient-1 a barge carrying 70 tons of crude oil capsized some 3.1 nautical miles from Karachi port on Friday. A day leter people visiting the Seaview beach witnessed traces of oil and dead fishes along the seaside. Yesterday people were also advised to avoid consuming seafood.
Today this news makes it clear that the oil tanks of the Orient-1 are already leaking oil and if the barge is not rescued soon it will starting spilling larger quantities of oil which once again will ruin our beautiful shoreline.
The Beaches of Karachi are one of the few places the poor and under privileged visit with their families when they get a day off from their backbreaking, odd jabs. Where will these people go for a break now? And with a drop in the consumption of seafood what will the poor fishermen be feeding their children? I hope it’s not FISH.
