A tube well installation in Dheoban village of Rajnagar upazila, Moulvibazar, was stopped after gas began emerging from the pipe instead of water at a depth of 55 feet. The incident occurred on Saturday at the home of a farmer named Kipend in Ward No. 2 of Panchgaon Union. Workers noticed the unusual emission and informed the homeowner, who then advised relocating the drilling site. However, the same phenomenon occurred again, prompting workers to stop the work and fill the hole with soil.
The unexpected gas release caused concern and curiosity among local residents. Acting chairman of Panchgaon Union Parishad, Jubel Ahmed Russel, visited the site after receiving reports. Following the advice of the upazila executive officer, the drilling work was suspended to avoid potential risks.
Upazila executive officer Bipul Sikder stated that the administration is closely monitoring the situation and has contacted Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company Limited (BAPEX), sending them video footage and photographs for assessment.
