Seven labourers were injured, including two seriously, when molten steel accidentally spilt on them at a manufacturing plant near here today, police said.
The victims were working at the manufacturing plant of a private company near Yevat, about 45 kms from here, when the accident occurred, he said.
"The labourers were transporting the molten steel in a ladle and while pouring it into the re-moulding unit, it appears that the ladle slipped and the molten steel fell on the labourers," an official at the Yevat police station said.
