Drillers in the U.S. shale patch are again trying to rebound from slumping activity, this time expanding the oil rig count by the widest margin in nine months.

Gadkari, who was accompanied by Uttarakhand chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, said the rescue operation is challenging as the soil strata in the Himalayan region is not uniform. He said it is soft at some places and hard at other places which makes mechanical operation difficult.
