One person died and more than 35 people were injured after an ammonia gas cylinder leaked at a dairy in Bihar’s Vaishali district late on June 24.
The incident happened at the Raj Fresh Dairy in Hajipur at night, setting off a stampede-like situation due to which many people got injured and were hospitalised at the government-run Sadar Hospital and private nursing homes.
The person who died has been identified as a labourer of dairy. However, the cause of gas leak has not been determined yet. Preliminary investigation suggested that the incident happened due to the factory’s negligence.
