HAZARDOUS Chemical Leakage & Oil Spill | High Alert in Kerala after Liberian Ship sinks
The Kerala state government has declared a statewide emergency after the Liberian-flagged cargo ship MSC ELSA 3 sank off its coast on Sunday.
The ship was carrying 640 containers, including 13 with hazardous cargo like calcium carbide, which releases flammable acetylene gas.
The incident has triggered fears of a major ecological disaster.
Authorities have issued alerts for potential oil spills and toxic container drift, especially in southern Kollam and Alappuzha.
The Indian Coast Guard has deployed two vessels and a Dornier aircraft to contain the spill, as over 450 metric tonnes of oil and diesel are feared to have leaked into the Arabian Sea.
While all 24 crew members were rescued, residents and fishermen are urged to stay away from affected areas as coastal contamination looms.

Following the brutal terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam on April 22, the Indian Navy launched a powerful response under Operation Sindoor. Vice Admiral AN Pramod confirmed that India’s Carrier Battle Group, submarines, and air assets were deployed in full combat readiness within 96 hours. Positioned decisively in the northern Arabian Sea, Indian forces remain on high alert, capable of striking sea and land targets — including Karachi — if ceasefire violations continue. Pakistan’s naval and air units have been forced into a defensive posture, retreating to harbours under constant Indian surveillance. India’s response remains proportionate yet firm, signaling unmistakable deterrence.
