3 Chinese engineers arrested for chimney collapse

Korba, Chhattisgarh: Three Chinese engineers have been arrested for last year's accident at the Bharat Aluminium Company Ltd (BALCO) plant in  Chattisgarh's Korba district. Forty five people died in that accident.

A gigantic chimney, 250 feet high,  had collapsed in September at the BALCO thermal power plant.  The labourers who died were mainly from Bihar and Jharkhand. BALCO had commissioned a Chinese company, SEPCO (Shandong Electric Power Construction Corporation), to  build the chimney at the 1200 megawatt power plant.

In addition to the three Chinese engineers arrested on Monday, four  other people have already been arrested; they include three BALCO officials.
