"Following reports of unusual activity in a well in Morbi, a team from Gandhinagar has been deployed and an investigation is underway. There is no indication of any earthquake-related activity, and I urge the public not to pay heed to rumours," said Morbi Collector and District Magistrate Swapnil Khare.

"Some speculation has emerged about a possible gas leak. However, the investigating team has not yet collected water samples, and it would be premature to draw conclusions based solely on videos without a proper scientific assessment," he added.
