A team of Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) employees successfully reached the summit of Mount Kanchenjunga, the highest peak in India and third highest in the world.

The company said a total of nine ONGC employees and one Indian Mountaineering Foundation member completed what some consider the most challenging of the tallest mountains.

ONGC director D D Misra celebrated the occasion, saying: “This is a proud moment for ONGC, a date to be earmarked… Kudos to the team on this achievement.”
