At least 11 workers were killed and 22 others injured in a boiler explosion at a thermal power plant in Chhattisgarh, India. The incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon at Vedanta Limited’s facility in Singhitarai village of Shakti district. Local authorities and law enforcement agencies launched a rescue operation soon after the explosion, and the injured were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment.
Police suspect that several workers may still be trapped inside the boiler room, raising fears that the death toll could rise further. District Superintendent of Police Prafulla Thakur confirmed that four workers died at the scene, while seven others succumbed to injuries in hospital. State Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai described the incident as tragic, assuring government support for the victims’ families and ordering an investigation to determine the cause and hold those responsible accountable.
Vedanta Limited stated that the boiler room was not directly under its control and was operated by subcontractor NTPC GE Power Services Limited. The company pledged assistance for affected families and promised full medical care for the injured.
