A local environmentalist Nirantar Gohain said flood has affected the ongoing work at Baghjan 5 Oil well site.
“The main road was damaged due to the recent wave of flood and now another road has been used for the work,” Gohain said.
Gohain said, “Maguri- Motapung beel was affected after the blowout at Baghjan 5 Oil well. The condensate/ oil damaged the whole beel after flowing of the condensate in the entire beel. Due to flood the condensate are flowing to other water bodies. Recently, after flood we have found carcasses of fish floating in the water body”.
