At least two labourers working at an Ammonia plant at the Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Limited (IFFCO) plant in Prayagraj's Phulpur lost their lives while the condition of the other 14 employees is critical following an Ammonia gas leak on Tuesday night.
According to IFFCO officials, the leakage took place around 11 pm on Tuesday night at the PF-1 unit.
This is not the first time that such an incident has happened at the plant. The gas leakage incidents at IFFCO's plant here have happened a number of times in the past 5-6 years.
Earlier in April 2019, four workers fainted following an alleged ammonia gas leak at the insulation department of the plant and had to undergo treatment.
