Chaos erupted in Lok Sabha on Wednesday when two people carrying gas canisters jumped from the visitors' gallery into the House chamber. Initial reports said they released yellow smoke, causing panic on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament attack. One intruder named Sagar sprayed an eye and lung irritant while shouting slogans before being overpowered by MPs, said witnesses like Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and Karti Chidambaram. Trinamool's Kakoli Dastidar confirmed overhearing chants during the frightening security breach that sent lawmakers rushing out. The dramatic incident halted parliamentary proceedings pending an investigation into the alarming vulnerabilities.
