Concerned Alarm Didn't Go Off During Vizag Gas Leak, Says Andhra CM

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy pointed a finger at the LG Polymers’s security measures during his press briefing on the gas leak at the plant in Visakhapatnam on Thursday which killed 11 people.
Reddy said, “I am concerned that an alarm did not sound when the gas leak took place.”
Reddy’s government announced  Rs. 1 crore as compensation for families for the eleven people who died after they inhaled aerosolised polystyrene that leaked from LG Polymers’s plant.
The government will also request the company to provide job for a family member of the deceased, the CM said.
Expressing concern over the mishap which took place even as the state is under lockdown, Jagan Mohan Reddy said, “The chemical was stored in high quantities in the facility. LG Polymers is a reputed multinational company. Such incidents happening in such a company is even more worrisome”.
The South Korean company which runs the plant is a part of the LG Corp. conglomerate. https://www.huffingtonpost.in/
