Abstract

(Bloomberg) -- A gas leak at an LG Chem Ltd. polymer plant in southern India has killed at least 11 people and forced the evacuation of thousands in the city of Visakhapatnam after the company tried to restart operations following the partial easing of the country's coronavirus lockdown. "The unfortunate event took place past midnight when they tried to restart the polymer plant, which is pretty old", said P. V. Ramesh, secretary to the chief minister of the state of Andhra Pradesh.
