Gas leak at Visakhapatnam Pharma Unit  leaves two dead
Vishakhapatnam/IBNS: At least two people died after gas leaked from a pharmaceutical unit in Visakhapatnam in the wee hours of Tuesday.
Those who died worked at the Visakhapatnam unit of the firm - Sainor Life Sciences, police told NDTV, adding that the situation is now "under control".
The pharmaceutical unit in the industrial port city's Parwada area was shut down immediately as a precautionary office after the leakage of benzimidazole gas was reported at around 11:30 pm, officials told the news channel.
The latest gas leak episode occurred nearly two months after a toxic gas leaked from a chemical plant in Visakhapatnam.
Nearly 800 people were admitted to hospital after a Styrene gas leaked from an LG Polymers facility located in the city.
At least 11 people were killed in the incident.
