VISAKHAPATNAM: More than 10 people affected by styrene gas leakage from the LG Polymers in Visakhapatnam got discharged from King George Hospital (KGH) and other private hospitals on Sunday.
On Thursday’s gas leak at the LG Polymers plant, 12 people died and over 400 fell ill and the affected were admitted to KGH and other private hospitals in Visakhapatnam.
The affected complained of dizziness, eye irritation, nausea and breathlessness.
On Sunday, 10 injured persons got discharged from KGH while some other affected including policemen were discharged from the private hospitals.
KGH Superintendent Dr Arjuna said all the patients in KGH are now stable and do not have any major health issues.
“Initially, about three children were having issues related to vision and one of them was having severe eye irritation. However, all of them are stable now and are under observation,” added Dr Arjuna.
“A six-year-old boy, Manideep, who was suffering from severe eye irritation was sent to LV Prasad eye hospital for second opinion after his recovery at KGH. After a consultation at the eye hospital, he was sent home as his vision is clear,” Dr Arjuna said.
“The effect of the gas was different on different people. Especially in children, they have different immunity levels from others. In his case the gas affected his eye majorly than other body parts,” added Dr Arjuna.

Biggie Team Shocked by Blast Zone
A highly anticipated big-budget film, slated for release in the next three to four months, has found itself in an unexpected dilemma. A major portion of the movie has already been shot, and the team recently wrapped up an expensive 20-day schedule.
However, the makers were reportedly left shocked after the release of Arjun Sarja’s Blast Zone. Despite modest expectations, the film performed surprisingly well and earned positive word of mouth.
What has caused concern is the striking similarity between a sequence in Blast Zone and a portion that has already been filmed for this upcoming biggie. With a considerable amount of money and effort already invested, the team is now said to be debating whether to retain the sequence or make changes.
The concern has intensified because Blast Zone’s strong reception is expected to boost its OTT reach, potentially making the similarities more noticeable to a wider audience. As a result, the makers are carefully weighing their options to avoid any unwanted comparisons when the film hits the screens.
