Three experts from Singapore on Monday joined the operation to plug the blowout in a natural gas well of Oil India Limited (OIL) in eastern Assam, which continued to spew gas even on the 12th day.
The team belonging to M/S Alert Disaster Control held a meeting with officials at the OIL headquarters at Duliajan before visiting the mishap site at Baghjan in Tinsukia district.
“The experts complimented the preparatory steps taken so far. They emphasised that safety of the local people living near the well as well as those carrying out the operation is of utmost importance,” said a statement issued by the OIL.
