Chemical spill triggers scare in Bangalore | Chemical spill in Bangalore triggered a scare as some residents complained of experiencing burns and irritation
in their eyes on Tuesday. According to local residents of Srirampuram area, the
stink was so intense that they thought it to be a gas leakage. Later they found
several unclaimed barrels of some unidentified chemical in the backyard of railway
track. "There was nothing since yesterday and day before but today the smell spread
heavily. Police and officials have come here and are investigating. Due to winds
today the odour spread in the adjoining areas," said Anil Kumar, a local. Regional
pollution control officer Shanta Kumari said the chemical was being analysed.
"We feel smell residue is there but only after analysis we will come to know...
We have collected the samples at different locations and...another two days,
tomorrow
we will be getting the report," she said. Police have seized seven barrels found
abandoned at an open space adjacent to the railway track and are investigating
who dumped the chemical. |
