Visakhapatnam: An accident occurred on Saturday at around 12:25 pm at the steel melting shop (SMS)-2 department, converter-E, Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited, while clearing the track for the movement of a stuck-up slag pot.
During the exercise, hot slag fell over four employees and five contract workers causing severe injuries. The victims were identified as senior manager T Jay Kumar, S Potanna, Eswar Naik, D Anil, Ch Appala Raju, K Sreenu, Suribabu, R Bangaraiah and P Sahu.
The injured were given first aid treatment at Visakha Steel General Hospital (VSGH) and later shifted to Seven Hills Super Specialty Hospital for further treatment. The injured included a DGM, a senior manager, two technicians and five contract workers. While the DGM and the senior manager received 80 percent burns, another contract worker received 90 percent injuries. Their condition is said to be critical.
