Rights group Amnesty International today said red mud pond, containing toxic residue, at Vedanta's aluminium refinery in Orissa poses "serious health risks" to local people, a contention denied by the mining major.

The NGO Amnesty International has also come to criticize the company's record on human rights. It has stated, "[I]t is clear that Vedanta Resources and its subsidiaries […] have failed to respect the human rights of the people of Lanjigarh and the Niyamgiri Hills." They add, "The proposed bauxite mine […] threatens the survival of a protected Indigenous community […] However, these risks have been largely ignored and consultation with and disclosure of information to affected communities have been almost non-existent."
