Indian airport officials probing suspected radioactive leak

None

A section of the cargo terminal at New Delhi's international airport was cordoned off and clearing operations were underway after a suspected radioactive leak on Sunday.

 

The leak at Indira Gandhi International Airport was suspected to have occurred from a package containing cancer medicines that had arrived as cargo on an Air France plane, said Atul Garg, New Delhi's fire chief.

 

The area was cordoned off and a disaster management team was investigating the nature of the suspected radioactive material.

 

Workers at the cargo terminal were asked to move out of the building as a preventive measure, Garg said.
