The Cairn Energy has received green signal for it from the Union government. The multinational's representative visited a number of places in this area over the in April and identified a number of places where the search could be conducted.

At all these places minor explosions would be conducted as part of search operation, said Cairn's Operation In-charge George Keswal.
Before carrying out the explosions on the selected points a 20 feet deep pit would be dug. All these explosions would be conducted at a safe distance from roads, drains, bridges and residential houses, he added.
