Industrial gas leak kills at least 11 people in the northern Indian state of Punjab, official says
In 2020, at least 15 people were killed and hundreds hospitalised after a gas leak at a chemical plant in Visakhapatnam, an industrial port city in the same state.
Residents were found slumped in the streets after being exposed to the gas, forcing a large-scale evacuation around the plant. A 4,000-page government report accused the firm of negligence and said the disaster was due to a lack of safety protocols and poor emergency response. That incident sparked memories of when India witnessed one of its worst industrial disasters in 1984.
