According to the preliminary information received, the accident took place after a boiler exploded at a Birla Cement plant. “The coal caught fire as the temperature rose in the coil plant. Later, after the explosion, the burning coal fell on the people working below. There were about 15 people who are reported to be burnt,” police said.
