Greenpeace-proofing the office

The recent Greenpeace attack on Essar group's headquarters in Mumbai has made other companies jittery - especially those with mining interests. The Aditya Birla group, which co-owns the controversial Mahan coal mining project, has turned its headquarters in Worli into a fortress with new security guards in place dressed in black commando uniforms. The number of guards have been increased significantly in case Greenpeace turns up at the Birla headquarters. Meanwhile, the Essar group has sacked its entire security team following the Greenpeace attack which received worldwide attention - just for its sheer daring.
