Agi: Esplosione in una centrale elettrica in India, 19 morti e 17 feriti

AGI - È salito a 19 morti e 17 feriti il bilancio della violenta esplosione avvenuta in una centrale elettrica nello Stato del Chhattisgarh, nell’India centrale. La deflagrazione ha interessato una caldaia dell’impianto situato a Singhitarai, gestito dalla Vedanta Ltd, sussidiaria del gruppo industriale guidato dal miliardario Anil Agarwal.
Secondo quanto ricostruito dalle autorità locali, cinque operai sono deceduti istantaneamente al momento dello scoppio, mentre altre quattordici persone sono spirate nelle ore successive a causa della gravità delle lesioni riportate. Il numero delle vittime è raddoppiato rispetto alle prime stime diffuse subito dopo il disastro, che indicavano nove decessi.
Le dichiarazioni della polizia e i ricoveri
"Il bilancio è salito a 19 morti e 17 feriti, attualmente ricoverati in diversi ospedali", ha dichiarato il capo della polizia del distretto di Sakti, Praful Thakur.
Indagine ufficiale per possibile negligenza
Il governo locale ha immediatamente disposto accertamenti per chiarire la dinamica dell'incidente. Il ministro dell’Industria dello Stato, Lakhan Lal Dewangan, ha annunciato l’apertura di un’indagine ufficiale sulle cause dell'esplosione, precisando che tra le ipotesi al vaglio degli inquirenti vi è quella di una possibile negligenza nella gestione dell'impianto.
Il dibattito sulla sicurezza industriale in India
L'episodio riaccende il dibattito sulla sicurezza industriale nel Paese asiatico, dove i sinistri sul lavoro restano una piaga frequente, spesso correlata al mancato rispetto delle normative vigenti. Solo il mese scorso, un incendio in una fabbrica di fuochi d’artificio nell’ovest dell’India aveva provocato 17 vittime, confermando una criticità sistemica nei protocolli di prevenzione e controllo dei siti produttivi.

Explosion in a power plant in India, 19 dead and 17 injured.

AGI - The death toll has risen to 19 and 17 injured following a violent explosion at a power plant in the Chhattisgarh state of central India. The blast affected a boiler at the plant located in Singhitarai, operated by Vedanta Ltd, a subsidiary of the industrial group led by billionaire Anil Agarwal.

According to reconstructions by local authorities, five workers died instantly at the moment of the explosion, while another fourteen people died hours later due to the severity of the injuries sustained. The death toll has doubled compared to the initial estimates released shortly after the disaster, which indicated nine deaths.

Statements from police and hospital admissions

“The toll has risen to 19 dead and 17 injured, currently hospitalized in several hospitals,” said the head of the Sakti district police, Praful Thakur.

Official investigation for possible negligence

The local government immediately ordered investigations to clarify the dynamics of the incident. The State Minister for Industry, Lakhan Lal Dewangan, announced the opening of an official investigation into the causes of the explosion, stating that one of the hypotheses under consideration by investigators is the possibility of negligence in the operation of the plant.

The debate on industrial safety in India

The episode reignites the debate on industrial safety in the Asian country, where work accidents remain a frequent plague, often linked to the failure to comply with current regulations. Just last month, a fire in a fireworks factory in western India caused 17 deaths, confirming a systemic criticality in prevention and control protocols for production sites.
