Children, including the victims of the Chhapra mid-day meal tragedy, are being evacuated from the Patna Medical College Hospital (PMCH) here today following a gas leak.

According to reports, there has been a gas leak at the PMCH where around 150 children, including those who fell sick after consuming midday meals, were being treated.

The parents ran out of the hospital with their ailing children soon after the gas started leaking from an air conditioner duct in the children's ward.

Further details are awaited.
