Explanation:
The Visakhapatnam gas leak, also referred to as the Vizag gas leak, was an industrial accident that occurred at the LG Polymers chemical plant in R. R. Venkatapuram village near Gopalapatnam on the outskirts of Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India, during the early morning of 7 May 2020. The resulting vapour cloud spread over a radius of about three kilometres , affecting the nearby areas and villages. As of 5 p.m. 8 May, the death toll was 13, and more than 1,000 people became sick after being exposed to the gas.Preliminary investigations concluded that the accident was likely the result of improper maintenance of units storing the styrene monomer, improper storage and operation errors. The Andhra Pradesh government announced an ex gratia of ₹1 crore (US$140,000 or €130,000) each for kin of the deceased as well as funds for the injured, allocating a budget of ₹30 crore (US$4.2 million or €3.9 million) for the compensation all those affected.
As of 7 May, the fumes had spread over a radius of 3 kilometres ve villages—R. R. Venkatapuram, Padmapuram, BC Colony, Gopalapatnam and Kamparapalem—were the most affected areas. Hundreds of people were rushed to hospitals with breathing difficulties and burning sensation in the eyes.Many had been found lying on the ground unconscious due to the effects of the gas. According to the initial estimate, at least 11 people had died, and 20–25 people were in critical condition.[21] By the next day, the death toll had risen to thirteen.More than 1,000 people were reportedly exposed to the gas.
Also on 7 May, late at night, police ordered the evacuation of people in a 2 km (1.2 mi) radius around the leak. However, police subsequently stated that this evacuation was precautionary and that there hadn't been a second leak
