Panic reigned in sectors 128, 137, 93A, 92 and surrounding areas on Thursday evening, as residents started complaining of a foul smell akin to a “piped gas leak”.
Several of them called up the police and officials of the Noida authority and the Gautam Budh Nagar district administration to ascertain whether there was any such leak in those areas.
Late in the night, Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) officials confirmed that there was no gas leak in any of the areas.
In a statement, the IGL said, “Our teams have checked the pipeline network in a few sectors of Noida where a “smell” has been reported. There is no leakage in our piped natural gas (PNG) network, and no disruption in the PNG supply.”
