People are afraid that Vizag gas leak incident may occur here as well," said a CPI-M activist."Even after protesting, nobody in the management has responded to the matter.

We are afraid for our lives. This factory is hardly one a kilometre from our village. Its been two months, we are surviving this bad smell.
