'''Thandavapalli''' is a village in [[Amalapuram Mandal]], [[Dr. B.R.

In September 2005, an ONGC exploratory well in Thandavapalli, near Amalapuram in the Krishna–Godavari basin experienced a high‑pressure blow‑out and fire on September 8. Flames reportedly rose over 150 ft and the resulting inferno burned for several days, prompting the evacuation of nearby villages. Although no casualties were officially confirmed, seven ONGC personnel were initially reported missing, with concerns raised regarding well control practices and emergency response timings. The incident prompted public and governmental scrutiny of ONGC’s safety protocols in the Cauvery delta region and intensified debate over environmental and regulatory practices in the basin.<ref>{{cite news<br />
