A late-night ammonia gas leak at a fertiliser manufacturing unit in north Chennai's Ennore led to the hospitalization of over 25 people. The incident occurred around 11:45 pm on Tuesday, causing discomfort, nausea, and faintness among residents. The leak, identified in the sub-sea pipe of Coromandel International Limited, triggered panic as locals evacuated their homes. Swift response from officials and effective evacuation measures prevented major casualties. Tamil Nadu's Environment and Forest Department reported that the leak was quickly detected, stopped, and addressed, with residents later given the all-clear to return home.
