It was a RUDE reminder of the Bhopal gas tragedy. In the early hours of November 29, residents of Vadol village near Maharashtra’s Ambernath industrial area woke up to a strong stench. More than 300 people living around a nullah started throwing up, felt dizzy and complained of uneasiness, breathing difficulties and headache. Some had to be immediately rushed to the Central Hospital in nearby Ulhasnagar city, while many others were evacuated from the area. The stench was coming from the nullah, which joins a tributary of the Ulhasriver. A tanker had dumped untreated industrial effluents into the nullah the previous night.
