It is absolutely important to shift the depot not only from the area but out of the Capital city. Why should we have a depot storing hazardous material inside the city, which is already battling air pollution. These depots should be located outside the city with no human habitation in the vicinity. The schools, which are in the vicinity, are at the highest risk. Many students might be facing breathing issues, as when these gases are emitted in the air, it mixes with the oxidants resulting in problems in breathing.
According to me I cannot put a blame on one party. The incident has to be seen in its totality, which makes everyone from the customs, transporters, depot handlers, policy makers and the government liable for any such incidents.
The central and State government should take a stand in such matters, which has serious implications on the public health and environment. This is the biggest flaw in Delhi's master plan to allot a place within the city for such activity.
