The Oil and Natural Gas Commission (ONGC), which had suspended its oil exploratory activities in Nagaland in 1994, has decided to resume its operations with a view to augmenting the production of crude oil in the country. According to an official release, the ONGC has already established the high potentiality of the petroliferous Assam-Arakan basin, covering approximately 3,000 sq. kms of Nagaland.
