Over 30 ONGC staffers stuck at Bombay High since 8 days

More than 30 staff members of the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) are unable to go back home. The reason? There is a shortage of helicopters to transport them back to mainland from the Bombay High oil rig. The employees work in shifts of 14 days. For a fortnight, they are in the city, while for the rest of the two weeks, they work on the offshore rig, which is about 160 km from the city.
