Mysore/Mysuru: More than 50 persons including women and children took ill as gas leaked from a chlorine cylinder installed at a park adjacent to Railway Loco Colony, opposite Vani Vilas Water Works on KRS Road in Yadavagiri on the evening of March 8 this year.
Though it was a minor incident, it was a horrifying experience for many including motorists as they experienced severe breathlessness and had to be hospitalised with oxygen masks. Some just sat on the road, unable to breathe. The incident was a wake-up call for the district authorities to be prepared for any such eventualities in the future.
