Digital Desk: Since last Thursday, the Oil & Natural Gas Company's (ONGC) Regional Crisis Management team has struggled to control the natural gas leak at ONGC's Rig No. RDS 147 in the Bhatiapar-Bari chuk area of Sivasagar.

Meanwhile, Akhil Gogoi, the MLA of the Sivasagar constituency, visited the site and met with Mr. Hari, the All India Head of the Regional Crisis Management team.
