Andhra Pradesh: Suspense continues on ‘gas leak’ at Brandix unit in Anakapalli

The Hindu  

A day after more than 200 women employees, a few of them pregnant, had fallen sick reportedly after inhaling some kind of a poisonous gas, suspense continued on Saturday on what exactly had happened at Quantum Seeds, a unit in Brandix India Apparel City, at Atchutapuram in Anakapalli district on Friday. Addressing the media on Saturday, BIAC’s India partner P. Doraswamy maintained the stand he had taken on Friday that some kind of a gas would have leaked from the neighbouring chemical factory and spread to the seeds unit. Pollution Control Board say that “such a possibility is very low.” Both the agencies confirmed that they could not find any trace of gas leak in the chemical factories. After styrene monomer vapour leak at LG Polymers in 2020, this was the biggest industrial accident, she said, and alleged that the government failed in making the erring industries fall in line despite blatant violations of all safety norms.
