A gas leak at the Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer Co. (GNFC) plant in Dahej on Nov. 3 killed four workers and injured 14 others.
Government and company officials gave no official cause for the leak, which occurred at the toluene disocyanate (TDI) gas operation in the GNFC complex. However, local media reported that a faulty gasket lead to the leak. The same plant had a similar accident in January 2014, leaving 15 workers seriously ill.
The plant was shut down and will remain offline for an undetermined time. Local and national government agencies have initiated investigations into the accident.
