It is with a heavy heart that I write this as Rahul Dutta’s cousin sister. Rahul was so young, just beginning to build his life. He married three years ago and had a beautiful one-year-old son who will now grow up without his father. This devastating loss has left our family shattered.The tragic fire at the ONGC facility in Borholla, Jorhat, on January 7, 2025, could have been prevented. What makes it even more heartbreaking is that a similar fatal fire occurred at the same station two years ago. This recurrence raises urgent questions about safety protocols and accountability.Rahul’s life cannot be in vain. ONGC must take immediate action to ensure the safety of every employee and prevent such tragedies from happening again. No family should endure this pain. Let Rahul’s memory inspire meaningful change, so no one else has to suffer such an unimaginable loss.Read allPost comment
