Around 40 people were hospitalised after reporting coughing and breathing difficulties. The leak reportedly originated from a 900-kg chlorine cylinder at the Godhani water treatment plant. Police evacuated residents within a 200-metre radius, while fire teams, NDRF personnel and water utility staff launched an emergency operation. The leak was brought under control around 5:30 am, with the cylinder placed in a tank containing water and caustic soda as a precaution.
