Chlorine Gas Leak at Nagpur Water Plant Hospitalises Over 40, Area Evacuated
A chlorine gas leak from a 900-kg cylinder at a water treatment plant in Nagpur's Godhani area early Monday caused breathing difficulties among residents and plant workers. Over 40 people were hospitalised, with some admitted to intensive care. Authorities evacuated residents within a 200-metre radius and sealed off the area. The National Disaster Response Force, fire department, and water supply staff jointly contained the leak by neutralising the gas with a caustic soda solution. The situation is now under control, and officials urged the public to avoid rumors.
