Legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar and India tennis star Sania Mirza, on Thursday, extended their condolences to the families affected in the Vizag gas leak incident.
As many as 11 people, including a child, have died and more than 1000 persons in five surrounding villages in a three km radius have been reported sick so far following a toxic gas leak from a chemical plant of a multinational firm in Andhra Pradesh’s Visakhapatnam.
The gas identified as styrene has, however, been neutralised.
