Before India could completely be recovered by this Covid-19 pandemic we once again have been horrified by another incident.

Yes, I am talking about #VizagGasLeak incident which took place Vizag also called Visakhapatnam. Poisonous gas was a leak from the containers of a Company called as LG Polymers India Pvt. Ltd, which clung more than 10 lives & nearly 3000 People are seriously ill.

Very sensitive & disturbing images of People and Animals falling on the grounds losing their Consciousness are being circulated on social media. The leaked poisonous gas called Styrene Gas.

This is widely used in construction and automobile industries. It has wide range of application.

This incident has raised once again questions on the Indian Industrial Safety Standard. This particular incidence reminds the 1984 Bhopal gas Tragedy. Despite having various requirements for industrial safety standards, Why such incidents keep occurring again and again?

The main reasons for this is “Lack of Monitoring and Improper Implementation of the Guidelines.”

We should have the Onsite & Offsite plan and government have to set up more and more disaster management institutions across the Country and moreover there must be a good Connection & Co-ordination with the Local Authorities. So that during such an incident a collective co-ordinate action is insured.
