VISAKHAPATNAM, May 9 — Angry protesters carrying dead bodies stormed an Indian chemical plant today to demand the facility’s closure after a toxic gas leak that killed 12 people days earlier.
Some helped cart stretchers bearing three victims of the disaster, their feet sticking out from under the black canvas covers that otherwise shrouded the bodies. “I saw people carrying their children on their shoulders looking for water. They could not move because of the gas, I thought they were dead,” said one man.Late Thursday, an evacuation zone around the plant was widened and hundreds more people were moved to safety after fears of a new leak. Some have since been allowed to return.
