Two workers suffered burn injuries in a blast at the steel melt shop-2 of Visakhapatnam steel plant on Wednesday.
The accident took place when water from a cooling pipeline reportedly spilled onto liquid steel during steel-making process. Senior foreman M. Raja Rao, 52, and contract worker Sumon Roy, 34, were stated to have received 65 to 70 per cent burns.
The two were taken to the Steel Plant General Hospital and later shifted to a corporate hospital where their condition is stated to be critical.
Agitated workers stopped work for sometime. Visakha Steel Employees’ Congress deputy general secretary N. Ramachandra Rao demanded a probe into the incident.
