ersistent rainfall and challenging site conditions.A key development in the operation was the successful installation of a 200-ton crane with an approximately 80-metre boom, which has now been fully commissioned and is actively supporting critical tasks at the site. This marks a significant advancement in the preparatory phase leading to the well-capping operation.Due to continuous rainfall, several site stabilisation and preparatory activities were undertaken to ensure the safe deployment and operation of the heavy-duty crane. ONGC teams responded promptly, reinforcing the location to maintain momentum in the ongoing operations.In light of the rising water levels in the Dikhow River, the Regional Crisis Management Team (RCMT) relocated the pump system to higher ground to ensure uninterrupted functionality. Water blanketing continues around the clock as a key safety protocol.Additionally, gas composition analysis conducted on 24 June 2025 indicates the discharge to be approximately 97% Methane, confirming that the gas remains within manageable and safe parameters, with no immediate risk to surrounding habitations.
