Goa beaches hit by dumped waste oil
An unidentified ship dumped tons of waste oil into the sea off western India, creating tar balls that were washing up on Goa's popular beaches, officials said.
Indian navy and coastguard vessels were trying to trace the ship, which is believed to have dumped burnt oil about three days ago, said Aleixo Sequeira, the state’s environment minister.
“If we are able to find the vessel, then action would be immediately initiated,” he said.
