60 in hospital after gas leak

MUMBAI - MORE than 60 people remained under observation in hospital on Thursday after a chlorine gas leak in the Indian city of Mumbai, officials said, as an investigation began into the cause of the incident.

A total of 115 people were treated for breathing difficulties and nausea at three hospitals after the leak early on Wednesday from disused cylinders stored in a warehouse yard on industrial land in India's commercial capital.

The leak has also led to criticism that fire crews were not properly equipped to deal with chemical spills. MORE
