At least 20 people were hospitalised after they complained of breathing difficulty in Uttarakhand on Tuesday.
According to the details, the incident was reported following a gas leak from a cylinder in Udham Singh Nagar district.
Commenting on the incident, police said the leakage at the Azad Nagar transit camp in Rudrapur was due to a torn pipe fixed to the approximately 40-50 litre capacity cylinder.
State Disaster Response Force personnel immediately moved the cylinder to a forest area to ward off any bigger accident, they said.
The exact gas in the cylinder is not yet known, they said.
Earlier on Monday, a fire broke out in an underground gas pipeline in the Parel area of Mumbai, a civic official said.
