The ONGC gas leak in Sivasagar’s Bhatiapar Barichuk has continued for six days, displacing residents and raising health concerns. CM Himanta Biswa Sarma and Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi visited the site, demanding accountability and safety audits. Sarma warned of escalating the issue to the PM, while Gogoi called for an independent probe and third-party air quality checks. The leak, caused by a June 12 explosion, has halted local livelihoods.
