TL;DR

At least 11 people, including women and children, have died following a gas leak in the port city of Ludhiana in Punjab state, India. The source of the leak has not been officially confirmed, but high levels of hydrogen sulphide gas were detected in the area. The National Disaster Response Force has been sent to the site, and nearby factories have been sealed off. Industrial gas leaks are not rare in India, with the 1984 Bhopal disaster being the world's worst industrial disaster.
