Over 1,000 residents in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district will be shifted to safer locations, following the incident of a "poisonous gas leak" from underground mines, officials said on Thursday. A woman allegedly died on Wednesday, while 12 people fell sick after "carbon monoxide" leaked from such mines in different places of Kenduadih Basti in the district, they said.
The exact cause of the woman's death, however, is yet to be ascertained, and it could only be confirmed after receiving the postmortem report, the officials said. Soon after the incident, the Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BCCL) started eviction of people from the "danger zones", they said.
The company also pasted notices on the walls of houses in the locality, asking people to vacate at the earliest, an official said. BCCL's Putki-Balihati Colliery Area GM G C Saha told reporters that three ambulances have been kept on standby in the basti to deal with any emergency.
