About 7,000 people from areas near Oil India’s Baghjan gas well, which has been spewing gas for over two weeks and eventually caught fire, have been moved to 12 relief camps, company and government officials said on Wednesday.
In a statement, Oil India Limited (OIL) said it has also formed four teams comprising senior officials to implement measures to mitigate the crisis arising out of the gas well blowout and the massive fire that broke out at the site on Tuesday.
Oil India said four persons — two from OIL, and one from Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), and a contractor — sustained minor injuries in the fire and were provided immediate medical help.
