Three Injured in Balco Plant Explosion
Three workers were hurt in a big boom at a factory that makes aluminum in a place called Korba.
The boom happened late at night and caused a lot of smoke.
The workers got bad burns and had to go to the hospital.
People think it might have happened because of a leak or a problem with the machines.
The police are trying to find out what exactly caused the boom.
This is not the first time something like this has happened at this factory.
A few months ago, a big filter thing fell down, and before that, a chimney collapsed.
People are worried about how safe the factory is.
Three workers suffered severe burn injuries in an explosion at Balco's Green Anode Plant in Korba, Chhattisgarh.
The blast occurred late Monday night, with oil leakage or a technical fault suspected as the cause.
The explosion triggered panic, and the security team quickly responded to control the situation.
Police have launched an investigation to determine the exact cause of the explosion.
This incident follows a previous mishap in October when an electrostatic precipitator collapsed at the plant.
