Former Union Energy Secretary EAS Sarma alleged that the AP Pollution Control Board (APPCB) had allowed the company to operate despite protocols not being followed.

Andhra's coastal city, Visakhapatnam, woke up on Thursday to horrific shrieks and heart-wrenching visuals of people falling down onto roads, as a poisonous gas leaked from LG Polymers Private Limited, a chemical plant.

It is located on the outskirts of the city, between RR Venkatapuram and Gopalapatnam. The incident occurred in the wee hours of Thursday even as the gas spread to neighbouring areas, for upto 4 km from the plant.

Within hours, the poisonous gas, identified as styrene, spread quickly, affecting hundreds of people and resulting in casualties. Officials have declared as many as 11 people dead as of Thursday.
