| A tanker lorry spilt acid it was carrying along the busy Ambattur Industrial Estate-Padikuppam road stretch on Monday.
Many motorists and residents complained of uneasiness and irritation. Fire and Rescue Services Department officers said a private company was transporting hydrochloric acid for its use. It is suspected that there was a leak in the rear pipe.
Irritation
Fire tenders were rushed to the spot and the tanker was moved to an isolated place. Since it was raining, the movement of two-wheelers was relatively low, but people who passed the stretch experienced irritation and pungent smell. Many abruptly stopped their vehicles and covered their faces. R.Ramesh, a resident of Kamaraj Nagar, said children reported suffocation.
Anna Nagar West Extension Phase II Residents Welfare Association president V. Rajagopal said traffic came to a halt for some time. Members of the public joined the traffic police in diverting the vehicles, the police said.
