PSU major Oil India Limited (OIL) on Sunday said it will move the Gauhati High Court, challenging the Assam pollution control board’s order to close all its production and drilling operations at the Baghjan oilfield in Tinsukia district.
The Pollution Control Board, Assam (PCBA) issued a “closure notice” to the company on Friday, alleging that it violated environmental laws while operating at the oilfield.
