At least 16 students from a government school were affected by an ammonia gas leak near the Chambal Fertilizers and Chemicals Limited (CFCL) plant in Rajasthan. The incident occurred during the morning prayer assembly when a strong gas odour spread across the school premises. Several students experienced breathing difficulties, while some fainted or began vomiting, leading to panic among students and staff. Villagers and school authorities alleged that the gas leak from the CFCL plant was responsible for the children’s deteriorating health. The district administration is extending all possible support to ensure their well-being. Strict action will be taken if the company is found responsible for negligence, the government has pledged accountability and strict measures against any parties found guilty of negligence. The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) team was also deployed for relief and rescue operations. Six students have been shifted to JK Lone Hospital in Kota for further treatment. Three teachers have been assigned to monitor the affected children’s condition for the next three days.
