Power
producer NTPC on Thursday said it has shut down a 500 MW unit at its Feroze
Gandhi Unchahar Thermal Power Station in Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh following
the accident on Wednesday that claimed the lives of 26 people.
The
company in a regulatory filing in the BSE said: "This is to inform that
Unit 6 (500 MW) of Feroze Gandhi Unchahar Thermal Power Station, Rae Bareli, is
under shut down after an accident in the evening of November 1, 2017. The other
five units of the station are operating normally."
The
death toll in the NTPC boiler blast here in Uttar Pradesh rose to 26 on
Thursday, with more injured workers succumbing to their burn injuries,
officials said.
The
massive explosion took place in a 500 MW boiler unit in Unchahar town on the
Lucknow-Allahabad highway. Many were trapped when a fire erupted in the boiler
and a huge ball of dust rose after the blast, making the rescue operations
difficult.
On
Thursday, contractual labourers at the plant raised slogans against the NTPC
management. They claimed they had warned about an impending disaster at unit
six as the temperature near the furnace had been steadily rising.
The
NTPC has launched a probe into the incident, which it said took place due to
"excess ash deposition" in the furnace. The state government has
ordered a magisterial probe.The Total
