Liquid sodium iodide leak at Indira Gandhi International Airport
On the condition of anonymity a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) officer said, “A consignment consisting of ten packets of sodium iodide class 7 category liquid reached the IGI Airport from Istanbul in Turkish Airlines flight number TK 716 around 4.35 a.m.”
“As it was being moved to a secure place from where it had to be sent to Fortis Hospital, a leak was noticed in four of the ten packets,” the officer said.
He said though the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) was informed, the situation was under control and there was no need to panic.
The officer said that Fortis Hospital procures the consignment of sodium iodide class 7 category liquid on a regular basis.
