    Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy has sought more information on the incident.

    Meanwhile, senior cop Uday Kumar told ANI the gas didn't spread to other areas.

  • This incident comes weeks after over 10 people died due to a gas leak at the LG Polymers plant in Visakhapatnam.

    The incident happened when workers were trying to restart the plant, shut for weeks due to coronavirus-necessitated countrywide lockdown.

    Subsequently, NDMA issued guidelines for restarting operations to avert any mishap.

    Establishments were asked by NDMA to consider the first week as "test run".
