Off the coast of Mauritius, a Japanese freighter "WAKASHIO" ran aground in July and a large amount of heavy fuel oil spilled.
Heavy oil recovery and freighter removal work are ongoing at the site, but according to local authorities, there was an accident on the 31st of last month where a barge collided with a local tugboat that was under construction.
There were eight crew members on the tugboat, but two have died and two are missing.
Prime Minister Jagnat visited the hospital where the rescued crew members were being treated on the 1st, and told reporters that "I would like to express my sympathies to the families of the dead crew members," and then investigated the cause of the accident. I showed you the idea to proceed.
Regarding the heavy oil spill accident, there was a large-scale protest demonstration against Prime Minister Jagnut that the damage was spread due to the government's delay in response, and the opposition party has further criticized the government following this accident. I am.
