In Balasore, a district in Odisha, there was an unfortunate incident where 15 people fell ill due to exposure to toxic gas. It happened near a prawn processing plant located in Nilagiri. The local authorities were notified of the situation on Friday by the police.
The individuals affected were workers at the plant, mostly women, who were engaged in the processing of prawns. They reported experiencing symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, and difficulty in breathing on Thursday night. Concerned for their health, their co-workers rushed them to the nearby Nilagiri hospital for immediate treatment.
Fortunately, after receiving medical attention, they were discharged and sent home to recover. Hospital sources confirmed that all individuals were stable and no further complications were reported. However, despite this incident, the Khantapada police station, which has jurisdiction over the plant, has not received any official complaint or First Information Report (FIR) regarding the incident.
It is alarming to hear about such incidents and we hope that measures will be taken to prevent them from happening in the future. The safety and well-being of workers should always be a top priority, and proper precautions must be in place to avoid any potential harm. Let us hope that necessary actions will be taken to ensure the safety of all individuals involved in such industries. This was reported by the Press Trust of India (PTI).
