Gas Leakage In Chemical Factory Kills Seven In UP's Sitapur

Seven people of the same family died after a poisonous gas leaked from a chemical factory in Uttar Pradesh’s Sitapur district. Among the deceased are one woman and three children.

Initial investigation reveals that a tanker had arrived at the chemical factory at night, during which the gas leaked and spread out into the neighbouring areas.

A family sleeping in a nearby carpet factory could not save itself from the fumes and seven people died due to suffocation.

Following this incident, the Sitapur Police are making preparations to question the owner of the chemical factory.

However, an administrative error cannot be ignored and the question that arises is how did such a huge lapse take place at a chemical factory near capital Lucknow?
