Sakti. Four workers have died so far in a lift that fell from a height at the RKM Power Plant in Dabhra, Sakti. Six others were seriously injured. The injured were brought to Fortis Jindal Hospital in Raigarh for treatment, where they are undergoing treatment.
According to eyewitnesses, work was going on as usual at the plant. Ten workers were traveling to the fifth floor in a lift. The remaining five were standing nearby. The lift was supposed to reach a height of 75 meters, but after reaching a height of 40 meters, the cable suddenly broke, causing the lift to fall to the ground.
According to eyewitnesses, they became aware of the accident when they heard a loud noise. They immediately informed the management, after which the workers were rushed to the hospital. Workers working at the plant say that the lift was very old and had not been maintained for a long time, which is why the accident occurred.
Fellow workers and the families of the deceased are demanding appropriate compensation, an impartial investigation, and action against the plant management. The injured workers are undergoing treatment at a private hospital. A post-mortem examination is underway after the bodies of the deceased are being examined. Officials are promising an investigation into the matter.
