Vizag/IBNS: At least 50 workers fell sick on Tuesday after a gas leak occurred at an apparel manufacturing unit in the Brandix Special Economic Zone in Andhra Pradesh's Anakapalle district. 

The workers complained of nausea and vomiting after the gas leak.

The workers were initially administered first aid in the medical centre at the SEZ and later shifted to nearby hospitals.

"The gas leak reportedly took place at the premises of Brandix. 50 people have been shifted to hospitals, and evacuation is underway at the premises," said Superintendent of Police, Anakapalle.

A similar incident occurred in the district on June 3, where more than 200 women workers fell unconscious after complaining of eyesores, nausea and vomiting.
