Four killed in major fire at ONGC’s gas-processing facility in Mumbai
At least four people were killed after a massive fire broke out at Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC)’s gas-processing facility in Mumbai on Tuesday morning. The incident once again puts the spotlight on the frequent accidents in the oil and gas industry.
The four people — including three Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel — were killed after a massive fire broke out in the storm-water drainage at ONGC’s gas processing facility at Uran in Navi Mumbai. Three other CISF personnel were injured.
“A fire was reported at about 7.15 am at storm-water drainage unit of the Uran plant possibly because of a gas leak. By 9.30 am the fire was brought under control,” Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said in New Delhi.
