A technician was killed and two others were injured in a mishap at the Jindal Steel & Power Ltd plant here in Chhattisgarh today, police officials said.
The three, working at a steel melting shop in the plant, suffered burn injuries when the temperature in its hot metal pot rose suddenly and generated flames that engulfed them, the officials said.
