by the end of 2013, the IPL port was operational and the naphtha was flowing to
the HFC plant in Central India after being granted the port contract in Summer
2012. The plant was located in an industrial area that had several pipelines in the
general geographic area including a crude oil pipeline leading to a refinery, and a
pipeline carrying pesticides to be processed and redistributed to local farms in the
area.
In July 2014, Ajay Patel, the logistics general manager received notification that
there were some minor leaks along the pipeline that were being fixed. Workers in
the area had experienced sudden headaches and lightheadedness and the
company immediately moved to investigate the leak and address faulty seams

- Patel sat down with the head of public relations, the CEO, and a few Board members to weigh options. On the one hand, they knew there had already been problems along their pipeline causing health concerns a few months before. Apparently, there were substandard materials used in some of the pipeline sections that eroded which they had addressed quickly as soon as they knew there was an issue. This information was public and is one of the reasons why the media was jumping on the story. On the other hand, their pipeline was not the only one in the area.
