Four people died and few other workers fell ill on Wednesday after a gas leak. The incident is from Odisha’s Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) of the state-run Steel Authority of India (SAIL).
The mishap took place at the Coal Chemical Department of the RSP in the morning, when a total of 10 workers were on duty, news agency reported.
The four were contractual workers engaged by a private company, officials said.
“According to a preliminary report, the four workers died due to emission of carbon monoxide gas from the unit,” they added.
