Working on oil platforms is inherently risky. While it's good the situation was controlled, "minor injuries" reported by the company and "minor injuries" felt by the workers might be different. Wishing a full and speedy recovery to all affected.

This is worrying. The cause is not disclosed yet. Is it maintenance lapse, human error, or equipment failure? As a public sector unit, ONGC must be more transparent. Our natural resources need better safeguarding.

Good to hear operations are normalised. Any disruption in production from Mumbai High can impact fuel prices. Hope the investigation leads to improved safety protocols so such incidents are prevented in the future.

My heart goes out to the injured personnel and their families. Working far away from shore is tough. Companies must ensure world-class safety standards and insurance for these brave workers. Get well soon! 💐
