The blowout incident at the Baghjan oilfield of the Oil India Limited (LTD) is saddening.  This can well be considered as one of the worst industrial disasters which the country has witnessed in the recent times. In other words, this is the second such major leaking incident since 2005 – let alone several other similar incidents of oil and gas spill in the recent past. Notably, the Baghjan gas leak happening is literally a two-part story, but, depressingly, both incidents have been a  bitter pill to swallow for the people, especially those who live  in villages within two kms radius of the uncontrollable gas outflow site. To argue precisely, both the incidents have almost irreversibly damaged lots of still-existing precious resources --cropland, water-bodies, a national park et al in its vicinity but have also taken heavy toll on the villagers’ livelihoods.

In a small city, if we have territorial claims then we risk hate mongers making hay and crashing all peace in the society. In is a fact that animals are territorial and that mentality should go. See China has that mentality. If the world is for all to explore and live we should not put China like thoughts.
