The incident, which occurred last week when the unit was shut for maintenance, was the second deadly accident at the plant in two months. An accident at the same power station on May 7 killed five people and injured three. More than three people die and at least 46 are injured every day in industrial accidents in India, according to government data for the three years ended 2016.
