A chlorine gas leak occurs at a water filtration plant in Sehore district, Madhya Pradesh. Reports say chlorine is used to purify water at the facility, and the leak begins from a tank at the plant.
People in the area are affected, with some experiencing irritation of the eyes and breathing-related symptoms. NDTV reports that four people are admitted to Sehore District Hospital after complaining of these effects. Doctors quoted by the outlet say the patients are out of danger.
The Hindu similarly describes the incident as a chlorine leak connected to the plant’s water purification process, based on local accounts about the source of the leak. While both outlets agree on the cause being linked to chlorine use at the filtration plant and on multiple people being hospitalised, details about the broader impacts, official investigation findings, and any timeline are limited in the available reports.
