There is no second leakage in Visakhapatnam,and the experts on ground are working to ensure complete plugging of the breach, NDRF chief S N Pradhan said on Friday.
Pradhan also asserted that the fumes that were seen coming out was a "technical" issue and there was no need to panic.
"There are some rumours and media reports about a second leakage. I categorically clarify that it is not true," the NDRF Director General said in a video message.
Earlier, the Union home ministry had also clarified that a "minuscule technical leak" had occurred at the chemical factory in Andhra Pradesh's Visakhapatnam but it was controlled and the process of neutralisation was on
The NDRF DG further said,"it has nothing to do with leakage as such and hence there is no reason to believe that there is a second leakage."
