At least 112 women injured in gas leak at South India factory

New Delhi-Sana

At least 112 Indian women have been hospitalized after a gas leak at a garment factory in the south of the country.

"The workers suffered from nausea and vomiting in a factory in the Achiotapuram district of the southern state of Andhra Pradesh last night," the Indian police told AFP, noting that "the workers' condition is stable and no deaths have been recorded, while an investigation has been opened into the accident."

A similar incident occurred last June in the same area, where 200 women were injured after a gas leak in a clothing factory as well.

In 2020, at least five people died and hundreds were hospitalized after a gas leak at a chemical plant in Visakhapatnam, an industrial coastal city in the same state.
