HRF Opposes BPCL Refinery Project in Nellore
The Human Rights Forum (HRF) has urged the Andhra Pradesh government to stop land acquisition for Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd’s proposed 9 MMTPA refinery-cum-petrochemical complex in Gudluru and Kavali mandals.
HRF warns the 6,000 acres project threatens the livelihoods of farmers, fishing communities, and tribal groups like the Yanadi, while also endangering water sources and agriculture. The forum also raised concerns over lack of transparency in surveys and inadequate public consultation.
It further questioned why BPCL seeks such a large land parcel compared to similar projects elsewhere and demanded the government reassess the scale, ensure environmental safeguards, and involve locals in decision-making.
