Assam well fire continues, Army joins efforts to douse blaze
As gas continued to flow uncontrollably and a fire raged on at a natural gas well of OIL in Assam’s Baghjan, the Army on Monday joined efforts to douse the blaze after the civil administration sought its help in constructing a bridge over an adjoining water body.
The state-run Oil India Limited (OIL), in the meantime, continued to face public ire over the tragedy and its production was getting affected in a big way with the company losing 5,386 MT of crude oil and 7.04 MMSCM of natural gas output in the last 20 days due to bandhs and blockades.
