At least 15 people were killed and 20 others injured in a major fire that broke out at the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant Wednesday night, witnesses said. The fire broke out following a huge blast in the oxygen house of the Steel Melting Shop (SMS) II wing of the public sector undertaking in the coastal city also called Vizag, about 600 km from here. The toll could go up as several injured are said to be battling for life at the Seven Hills Hospital. There was chaos at the hospital as the medical staff found it difficult to attend to several badly injured workers. The bodies were shifted to the steel plant general hospital.
While there was no confirmation of the toll either from steel plant authorities or police, the legislator from Gajuvaka constituency, C. Venkataramaiah and some other witnesses said as many as 15 people were killed.
The victims include officials and permanent and contract workers.This is said to be the worst disaster in the 40-year history of the steel plant. Also known as the Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL), the steel producing company was set up in 1971.
