Assam oil field fire may take 4 weeks to douse: All you need to know

A massive fire erupted in a damaged oil field in Assam's Tinsukia district on Tuesday. The oil well, part of Baghjan oil fields, had suffered damage after a blowout on May 27 and has been spewing gas since then.

Bhagjan oil well, which has been spewing gas for 14 days and is currently on fire, is only a kilometre away from Maguri-Motapung wetland. It may take four weeks to douse the fire.
