IndianOil (IOCL) conducted an emergency response drill (ERD) on Friday to check response of various agencies in situation of a disaster. The emergency response drill was conducted at IOCL's Vadodara black oil terminal near Asoj on Savli road at 3 pm.

"While in a fire drill, we check response in a fire scenario, in this scenario we also checked response of district administration and nearby industries to know the run time and alertness," said safety in-charge of the terminal Shishir Chandra Tiwari. "During the drill, we received support from IOCL's white oil terminal, IOCL's LPG terminal, Nirma plant at Savli and our refinery at Koyali, which got us fire tenders and an ambulance. At the same time, after we approached the district disaster room at Kothi about the event, we were sent support in form of ambulance from SSG Hospital."
