On March 11, two supervisors were killed on the spot and four on-duty workers survived with injuries after a 3,000-kg reactor blew up at the pharma unit. The NGT took the cognisance of the case on a suo motu basis later.
The committee led by MoEFCC scientist P. Suresh Babu and Central Pollution Control Board (Chennai) scientist T. Mahima inquired about the incident during the interaction with the company management.
