The police, fire brigade and company officers were being called to the incident area to monitor the situation. The entire area was cordoned off.
"The root of the cause is being identified and all the major steps are in force. People do not need to panic as the situation is under control," said Manish Mishra, Manager, Adani Group.
"We are analysing the root cause of the incident. The first step we took was to isolate the place and the entire upstream-downstream walls were being stopped at the moment. Gas supply was also stoped in two CNG pumps to avoid any incident further," Mishra added.
