After breathing poisonous chemical that seeped from a printing mill in the Sachin GIDC region of Surat in the early hours of Thursday, at least six persons have died and 20 others have been hospitalised. According to the authorities, the gas came from a tanker. The majority of those who were harmed were daily wagers who were sleeping near the scene, according to the authorities.
The majority of the workers died of asphyxia, according to preliminary reports, according to the authorities. They claim that the status of at least 15 others is critical.
According to reports, the tragedy occurred when a truck driver poured the chemical down a drain. The chemical is thought to have spread quickly through sewers and other drains. However, official confirmation of the accident’s cause is still pending. Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has expressed his condolences following the event.
