The ailment of at least ten people after inhalibng a poisonous gas creates no less panic in Moran from Saturday.
At least ten people have been taken ill after they inhaled fomelin gas which emitted from a tanker on the National Highway No 37 on Saturday night.

The tanker carrying fomelin gas meant for Kolkata from Namrup Petrochemical halted near the Popo Ground at around 9 in the evening. But some people nearby inhaled the gas which emitted because of technical snag.

Thus a huge traffic snarl took place on the highway for four hours. Later OIL officials arrived in the spot and took away the truck.
