📝 GS Paper 3 – 10 Marks (150 Words)

“Industrial disasters in ecologically fragile regions, such as the Kharsang oilfield blowout in Arunachal Pradesh, highlight critical gaps in safety governance. Examine.”

Introduction (30 words)

The Kharsang oilfield blowout (Nov 2025) in Arunachal Pradesh caused uncontrolled gas release and fire in the sensitive Patkai foothills. The incident exposed major deficiencies in industrial safety, environmental regulation, and disaster preparedness.

Body (100 words)

Located in a biodiversity-rich, landslide-prone zone, Kharsang reflects the risks of extractive activity in fragile ecosystems. Preliminary assessments indicate well integrity failure and inadequate pressure control, suggesting poor compliance with safety norms and outdated equipment.
Weak regulatory oversight—fragmented between DGMS, MoPNG, and state pollution boards—creates gaps in accountability. Evacuation delays, limited hazmat capacity, and reliance on external blowout experts reveal operational shortcomings.
Environmental impacts—air pollution, soil contamination, and wildlife disturbance—are intensified in the Eastern Himalayas. The event underscores the need for stricter EIAs, technological upgrades, community consultation, and regional petroleum safety mechanisms.

Conclusion (20 words)

The Kharsang blowout demonstrates India’s urgent need for robust industrial safety governance, especially in ecologically delicate, disaster-prone regions of the Northeast.
