Ujjain: ONGC has started investigating the explosions in the Shipra River in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh. On Sunday, ONGC General Manager (Chemistry) Amit Saxena and Senior Geologist Ajay N. Lal arrived here from Dehradun. Both officers took samples of soil and water inside the river from many places. However, this team has not found any kind of gas leak in the river. This team has to submit its investigation report to the Collector within 15 days.
Geologist Ajay N. Lal told that at the moment the samples have been collected. Therefore it is too early to reach any conclusion. Facts will be revealed after investigation, only then something can be said. He said that no spots have been seen in the water and no leakage of any gas has been seen in the spots seen so far. Therefore, nothing can be said at the moment.
GSI Unreported Public
The team of the Geological Survey of India (GSI) Bhopal has also investigated the explosion in the river. A few days ago the GSI team took silt and water samples from the river. Their investigation report is not yet public.
There was a stir in the administrative staff
It is worth noting that in the last February and the first week of March, there was a stir in the administrative staff due to the information about the explosion. In a hurry, Ujjain collector Ashish Singh had mailed the GSI team to seek help from geological experts and investigate. After this, GSI in its investigation had predicted methane and ethane gas. Soon after, the Collector called the team of ONGC Uttarakhand Dehradun to investigate.
