The sports fraternity, including the likes of India skipper Virat Kohli and opener batsman Shikhar Dhawan, on Thursday extended their condolences to the families affected in the Vizag gas leak incident.
As many as 13 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.
“My condolences to the families who lost their loved ones in the #VizagGasLeak. Praying for everyone affected and recovering in the hospital,” wrote Kohli on twitter.
