The Company's Line

If the Ramu Nickel Mine packs up and leaves tomorrow because of the current court injunction by the Raicoast people stopping Deep Sea Tailings Placement (DSTP), what will the NGOs and the plaintiffs provide to the people of Krumbukare, the pipeline as well as those on the coast? This is the line that the Ramu Nickel Mine (RNM) and the government are using. What the government and the RNM fail to see is both should be held responsible NOT the plaintiffs nor the NGOs because they should be the ones to come up with the alternative waste management system apart from DSTP. The reason why the RNM does not want to come up with those options is simply because it does not want to cut into its profit. The RNM and the government should NOT start pointing fingers they should be held responsible. We now have a situation where the people don’t want DSTP because they depend on the sea while on the other hand the company does not want a cut into its profits. IT IS PEOPLES’ LIVES VERSES COMPANY’S PROFIT.!
