The well number 5 of Oil India at Baghjan Gaon in Tinsukia district of Assam has been spewing gas uncontrollably since June 9, following a blowout on May 27.

The Baghjan episode is an example of careless and indifferent attitude of the companies towards villagers living in the neighbourhood and environmental impact in the surrounding areas.

The two firefighters had gone missing after the well caught fire on Tuesday and their bodies were recovered by an NDRF team Wednesday morning.

Since an initial explosion on May 27, the oil well has continued to leak gas and associated condensate posing threat to the lives and environment.

In a speech aired on state TV, Rouhani said the country's economy had stabilised despite punishing US measures against its senior leaders, banking and finance sectors.
