Andhra Pradesh Gas Well Fire Contained, Residents Return Home

Authorities have declared it safe for residents to return home following a blowout and fire at ONGC's Mori-5 gas well in Andhra Pradesh's Konaseema district. The blaze, which erupted on January 5, has been substantially contained, with the risk of escalation deemed remote. ONGC's Crisis Management Team has reduced fire intensity and heat, and is proceeding with capping operations. The incident forced the evacuation of hundreds of villagers, but relief camps are expected to wind down as the threat has subsided.
