Answer:
The India Air Force on Monday airlifted 8.3 tonnes of chemicals from Gujarat that could reduce the toxicity of the gas leaked from a storage tank at the LG Polymers plant in Visakhapatnam last week, the Defence Ministry said.
The vapour leak from the plastic-manufacturing unit in the early hours of May 7 caused the death of 12 people besides leaving over 400 hospitalised.
“Two An-32 transport aircraft of IAF were deployed to airlift approximately 1.1 tonnes of Tertiary Butylcatechol and 7.2 tonnes of Polymerization Inhibitors and Green Retarders from Mundra, Gujarat to Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh,” the Ministry said in a statement.
The IAF also facilitated the movement of the two individuals — Director of Indian Institute of Petroleum from Delhi and a Styrene specialist from Mumbai — to Visakhapatnam as they were required to oversee the operations being undertaken to control the gas leak.
Meanwhile, Visakhapatnam District Collector V Vinay Chand said that about 13,000 tonnes of Styrene from the LG Polymers plant is being sent back through a ship to the company’s headquarters in Seoul, South Korea.
