es have formed an enquiry committee to find the root cause of the incident and suggest remedial measures.

“Normal operations have resumed and all leakages have been fixed and crude oil is being received from installations at Central Tank Farm, Duliajan,” the company said.

A joint team comprising Circle Officer of Tengakhat Circle, Dibrugarh district, State Pollution Control Board, fisheries department and OIL experts were reviewing the possible damage to the environment.

Once the expert committee submits its findings, necessary action would be initiated.

The video of the fire, with dense, huge, black smokes from the river covering the horizon, went viral on social media.
