Duliajan, Assam, Jan 6 : Residents of Devuhal village near here in Dibrugarh district of Assam are virtually living in panic for the last three months, after they noticed combustible gas coming out from the earth's interior.
The gas comes out in the form of bubbles in water, and once lit, it causes fire.
