Four workers were killed and 13 sustained injuries in gas leakage in a fertilizer plant of Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers and Chemicals Ltd (GNFC), a Gujarat government-run PSU, near Dahej in Bharuch.
The incident occurred on Wednesday night.
"Four persons have died and over a dozen have been injured in the accident," said Bharuch SP Sandeep Singh. The injured have been admitted to a local hospital and the two people, who are said to be in a critical condition, were taken to Vadodara.
Congress leader Ahmed Patel has demanded a detailed probe into the incident. Mr. Patel also called up district collector regarding the accident.
