New Delhi, May 6 (IBNS) : More than 300 girl students of a Delhi school were hospitalised after they fell sick following a gas leak from a container in a nearby aea on Saturday morning, media reports said.

The incident took place when classes were on in the Rani Jhansi Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya in Tughalakabad area.

Some students fell unconscious and some complained of irritation in the eyes and throat due to the gas leak  reportedly from  nearby container depot.

The entire school was vacated while those who fell sick were taken to different hospitals.

Most of them were later released and declared out of danger.

Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia tweeted hours later, saying that he has asked for a magisterial inquiry into the incident.

“I spoke to the girls and the doctors, the condition of the students is normal,” he said, after visiting the hospitals the schoolkids were taken to."

Officials from Delhi Police and the National Disaster Response Force were attempting to identify the chemical and how it leaked.
