Guwahati, June 17 (TIWN) The army has started to build a 150-metre bridge over a water body to facilitate technical works to control gas leakage and oil well fire in the Tinsukia district of Assam, according to officials, here on Wednesday.

The Army’s 2nd Mountain division has started moving materials and equipment from Missamari in Sonitpur district and Tezu in Arunachal Pradesh to Baghjan. The plan is to build a bridge to create a pathway and also divert a pipe bringing water from the nearby Dangori river to the reservoir.
"Too much heat is being generated by the fire around the well. We are laying this pipe to pump in water from the river to the reservoir near the well. The pipe needs to be shifted. The district administration has requisitioned the Army," Hazarika said.
