Safety Issues

In December 2017 ONGC published an Expression Of Interest (EOI) for an analysis of safety issues raised by a proposed expansion of the Surat airport that would put new runways above the buried BPA-Hazira Pipeline and BPB-Hazira Pipeline. As of May 2018 ONGC had not hired a consultant to do the analysis.
