Ammonia gas leaks from subsea pipeline of Tamil Nadu fertiliser plant
According to authorities, 52 people are being monitored in hospitals as a result of the ammonia gas leak from a subsea pipeline connected to a fertiliser manufacturing business in north Chennai, which caused shortness of breath and nausea in the locals.
Timeline........
After protests by those calling for the closure of the facility, the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) declared that the leak has been completely sealed and there is no need for alarm.
An official release from this location stated that "the TNPCB has confirmed that there is no ammonia leak now" and that "the gas leak was plugged by specialists within 20 minutes."
The TNPCB immediately ordered the stoppage of the Ammonia offshore pipeline activities for precooling and transfer in the wake of the gas leak.
A technical committee including experts has been formed by the government to investigate the issue and provide a report within 24 hours of the field assessment and three days of the full report.
The gas leak occurred on December 26 at approximately 11:45 p.m. Locals and fisherman who were on the beach at that time reported hearing strange noises and seeing water spilling from a few locations above the underwater pipeline.
People began to experience extreme discomfort as soon as an odor began to permeate the air in parts of north Chennai. After feeling a "burning sensation" in their eyes, throats, and chests, some people passed out.
In a panic, a large number of people who had been sleeping woke up and fled their houses. After informing their neighbors, they all quickly arrived at the main roadways, not knowing what to do.
