Three experts from Singapore firm Alert Disaster Control are already working at the site since Monday to stop the continuous flow of gas leak.
Though no peripheral burning is taking place at the moment at the well's site at Baghjan, the company has declared an area up to 1.5 km radius as "red zone" to avoid any untoward incident and harm to the general public.
It is to be noted that Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Thursday ordered a high-level inquiry into the circumstances that led to a blowout at the gas well.
