The death toll from gas leak in India's Punjab state rose to 11 on Sunday, a local administration official told Xinhua over phone.
The accident occurred in the thickly-populated Giaspura area in Punjab's Ludhiana city with several factories. Local authorities suspect that dumping of some chemicals from a factory into the sewer led to the emission of poisonous gas resulting in the deaths.
Among the dead were three minors and five women. They also included five members of a family.
At least four persons who fell sick were still in a local hospital. All the victims were migrant laborers hailing from the northern state of Uttar Pradesh and the eastern state of Bihar.
