Guwahati: Locals in the oil town of Duliajan have been in a state of panic as a result of crude oil emissions from pipelines carrying oil on Saturday.
The incident was reported at the Tingrai Chariali Bridge in Duliajan next to a paddy field.
Initial reports state that despite the locals having previously informed Oil India Limited (OIL)’s responsible department about the oil pipeline spill, no action or remedies have been taken.
The villagers warned that if action is not taken to plug the leak in the oil pipelines, a massive fire could break out at any time.
Meanwhile, the locals requested OIL to investigate into the incident as soon as possible.
Following a Gammon JICA water supply main line pipe rupture in the Kharguli area of Guwahati last Thursday, which swept away multiple vehicles and destroyed the neighbouring homes, several families have recently been left without a home.
After the water supply pipeline rupture incident in Kharguli, which also took the life of a woman and injured other people nearby, the situation is still dangerous.
The families were given shelter at Joypur Primary School after being left stranded in Kharguli’s Joypur after a water pipeline ruptured yesterday.
A woman identified as Sumitra Rabha was killed in the aftermath of the water supply pipeline burst in Kharguli.
Furthermore, the occurrence that was responsible for multiple two-wheeler and four-wheeler vehicles being washed away injured as many as 19 local residents. The injured are being treated at the moment.
The force of the water was so great that it also caused damage to several residences nearby, knocking down walls and foundations, which quickly forced several residents from their homes and left them without refuge.
