Three Chinese Engineers Arrested For Chimney Collapse

Three Chinese engineers with China-based Shandong Electric Power Construction Corporation (Sepco) were arrested today in connection with last September’s chimney collapse in the power plant of Vedanta-controlled Bharat Aluminium Company (Balco) at Korba, 225 km from here.

The collapse killed 41 workers. The worst industrial accident in the history of Chattisgarh region. Sepco got the contract for setting up the 1,200-Mw unit and had given the job of building the chimney to Gannon Dunkerley and Company Ltd (GDCL).
