A fire erupted at an ONGC gas well in Irusumanda village, prompting emergency operations to divert water from the Gudavalli canal for firefighting. Authorities face challenges due to high gas pressure and an estimated 40,000 cubic meters of gas. A complete shutdown and sealing of the well is a possibility if the fire isn't controlled. The village has been evacuated, with senior officials monitoring the situation and coordinating efforts with fire services and ONGC technical teams.
