At least 13 people have been killed by a huge gas leak at a chemical plant in southern India, with hundreds of others brought to hospital.
The leak from the LG Polymers plant in the city of Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh state came as people were sleeping.
Doctors tell victims have been complaining of a burning feeling in the eyes and problems breathing.
Areas around the plant have been evacuated. The leak may have been due to negligence, officials say.
Reports imply initial efforts to restrain the gas leak were unsuccessful but the company and state executives say the situation is now under control.
LG said in a statement it was investigating the cause of the incident and was looking at ways “to provide speedy treatment” for those affected.
