Abstract
Massive stars are known to play an important role in energizing the interstellar medium; however, their formation mechanism is still not well understood. In this study, we have identified compact HII regions around massive young stellar object so that follow-up observations can be made to study how massive stars are formed and how they affect the dynamics of the ambient cloud material in their early lifetime.
