The oilfield situated near Dirial Tea Estate in Duliajan, operated by Oil India Limited, is experiencing a release of natural gas.
Despite the dedicated efforts of experts from Oil India Limited, the gas flow has persisted for 36 hours, proving resistant to shut down.
The cause of this incident is believed to be a powerful tool meticulously cutting into the wellhead with innovative techniques.
In response to the situation, the district administration has imposed Section 144 at the site to maintain order and safety.
Oil authorities have also conducted discussions with the expert team of ONGC (Oil and Natural Gas Corporation), and if they are unable to halt the gas emissions, they may seek the assistance of additional expert teams.
This situation has created a sense of apprehension among the local population in the surrounding areas.
