More than 100 students and four teachers from Chavara Government Boys Higher Secondary School and Chavara Government Girls Higher Secondary School were hospitalised following a gas leak at Chavara, near here, on Friday morning.

While the local people alleged that the gas leaked from the complex of the public sector Kerala Minerals and Metals Ltd. (KMML), company authorities denied the charge.

District Collector P.G. Thomas said no final conclusion had been reached on what exactly was the gas and from where it leaked.
