The affected workers were rushed to nearby private hospitals for treatment, where seven of them died.Three-member panel formedTo investigate the cause of the gas leak, the state government has constituted a three-member committee comprising officials from the Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health, the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board and the Directorate of Public Health.The panel has been asked to submit an interim report within 24 hours and a final report within three days.
