At least nine workers were killed and 15 others injured following a boiler explosion at a power plant in Chhattisgarh state. Local police suggest the blast, which occurred at a facility operated by Vedanta, was likely triggered by an overheated boiler tube. The company described the event as an “unfortunate incident” and has launched a comprehensive investigation into the exact cause. Emergency services remain on-site, while the injured have been transported to nearby hospitals for urgent treatment.
