Hisar: Leakage of ammonia gas from an ice factory here today caused panic as people ran helter-skelter and shopkeepers downed shutters.

The leak was plugged after one-and-a-half hour and the factory was sealed, sub-divisional magistrate Amardeep Jain said.

People felt irritation in their eyes and some of them vomited as the gas leaked from the factory located in Parao Chowk.

No one was, however, hospitalised, the SDM said adding the cause of the leak was yet to be ascertained.

Panicky residents demanded immediate shifting of such factories from the town.
