William Antaldi said that the administration is conducting a search operation in the area and has searched the area where the cylinder leaked to find out whether more people have died due to this gas leak.
Officials said none of the people affected by the gas leak could be treated as all of them died. We are still trying to ascertain when the gas started leaking, but when we reached the spot it was around 8 pm, people had already died.
Another officer said that the scene at the spot was horrifying, with bodies of many people lying here. Women and children are also included in the dead. The bodies of these people were lying where the gas leaked.
On the other hand, doctors say that the people of Jama-Jama community live here, these people clean the gold here, for this they use gas cylinders. Tragically, this time the gas cylinders leaked, due to which the sleeping people suffocated and died.
People who were awake tried to run but the smoke was too much, so they could not save themselves. A 5-year-old child has also died in the accident.
An official of the local Metro Police Department said that initially when we got the call, it was told that there was an explosion here, later after investigation it was found that there was no explosion but a gas leak.
