Mumbai High is crucial for our energy security. While it's a relief that the fire was controlled quickly, such incidents raise questions about maintenance protocols. Hope the company releases the investigation report publicly.
Working on an oil platform is already a high-risk job. The quick response is commendable, but preventing such fires should be the top priority. Wishing a speedy recovery to the injured personnel.
"Minor injuries" and "stable condition" – these terms are a huge relief to read. Salute to the firefighters and emergency teams who acted promptly. Jai Hind.
With all due respect to ONGC's statement, "operations have returned to normal" seems too soon. The focus should be on the well-being of the injured and understanding the root cause, not just resuming work. Safety first, always.
This is a wake-up call. We depend so much on Mumbai High. Hope the management invests more in modern safety equipment and regular drills for the staff. Their lives are not expendable.
