Another Fire Incident at Tengakhat: LPG Cylinder Explosion at Oil India’s No. 4 Kharikatia Oil Well Canteen
Barely days after a massive fire incident at ITF in Tengakhat triggered panic among residents, another fire broke out at Oil India Limited’s No. 4 Kharikatia oil well in Rongchongiya, Tengakhat, on Sunday afternoon.
According to reports, the fire broke out at the canteen of Deep Energy, a private oil drilling company operating under Oil India Limited. The incident was reportedly triggered by an LPG cylinder explosion, creating panic across the surrounding area.
The latest incident has further heightened concerns among local residents, who were already alarmed by the recent massive fire at ITF in Tengakhat. The recurrence of such incidents within a short span has raised fresh questions about safety measures at oil installations in the region.
Meanwhile, local residents and various organisations have expressed serious concern over the repeated fire incidents and accidents associated with Oil India Limited’s operations. They have called for stronger safety measures and stricter monitoring at oil fields to prevent such incidents in the future.
