New Delhi: The Tughlaqabad container depot should be relocated, a panel of experts from AIIMS set up to probe the chemical spill that led to more than 450 children being hospitalised suggested today. The five-member probe panel, which had visited the depot in south Delhi's Tughlaqabad area and the two schools affected by last week's gas leak, has, however, not made a formal recommendation yet.
"The panel feels that the depot be relocated. However, we have not sent any official recommendation to that effect yet," said Dr YK Gupta, head of pharmacology at AIIMS who is heading the panel.
The panel had also visited the hospitals where the students had been taken.
Union Health Minister JP Nadda had directed central government run hospitals to be ready to help victims of the May 6 incident.
On the day of the incident, AIIMS had issued an advisory urging people not to panic.
