Three Chinese engineers arrested in India

[Communist]

Three Chinese engineers have been arrested in connection with a building collapse last year in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh.

The engineers, who work for a Chinese firm, have been remanded in custody.

It is not yet clear what caused the accident, but officials from all companies involved have been detained.

The chimney was being built by India's privately-owned Bharat Aluminium Company at a power plant in Korba.

The company had hired the China-based Shandong Electric Power Construction Corporation to build the power plant, reports say.

The China-based company is then reported to have sub-contracted the chimney construction work to an Indian firm.

A recent report by the UN's International Labour Organisation said that nearly 50,000 Indians die from work-related accidents or illness every year.

I fear, they might get executed.

This time the CPC should learn a lesson and come out of the delusional Sino Indian friendship. China should arrest all the indians in China in retaliation.

50 dead in Balco mishap, 89 Chinese employees flee


New Delhi: Around 89 Chinese personnel mostly engineers, working at Bharat Aluminium Company Ltd (Balco) in Chhattisgarh's Korba town are reported to have fled fearing attacks by locals after a 100-metre under-construction chimney at the plant collapsed Wednesday, trapping many workers. So far, 50 bodies have been recovered.

The Government has issued look out notices against 89 Chinese personnel.

All of the 89 were employed in Korba by the Shandong Electrical Power Corporation (SEPC) and fled after the chimney collapsed at the Balco Plant in Korba, which killed atleast 50 people.

SEPC had bagged the contract by aluminum major Balco to construct two power plants of 600 MW each.

Five Chinese engineers have been stopped by police at Raipur airport from flying back to Kolkata. And more than 75 per cent of the rubble is yet to be cleared.

The under-construction chimney crashed amid heavy rain and lightning Wednesday, trapping over 50 workers in the debris. Police say the toll could rise as more people are feared trapped.

The district administration source told IANS that police have alerted Mana airport authorities in Raipur not to allow any employees of SEPCO to leave Chhattisgarh as their help would be needed in a judicial probe into the crash instituted by the state government.

Sources at police headquarters said that several Chinese who fled Korba have been kept at Bilaspur town, some 125 km from Korba.

Meanwhile, six teams of rescuers are still working at the collapsed chimney site to pull out survivors, if any, from the rubble.

BALCO mishap: 3 top Chinese officers arrested

KORBA: Three top Chinese officials were today arrested in connection with the BALCO mishap which claimed over 40 lives last


Three officials of M/s Sepco Company - Project Manager U Chunan and civil engineers Lu Gukan and Wan Wang were arrested under IPC Sections 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), 34 (Acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) and 326 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons means), police said.

The Sepco officials were produced before a local court which remanded them in judicial custody for seven days, SP Ratanlal Dangi said.

Around 80 Sepco officials had come from China to install the chimney in the Balco company, Dangi said.

Police had earlier arrested four persons including three top BALCO officials - company's vice president Viral Mehta, additional general manager, Deepak Narang and engineer Atul Mahapatra and GDCL Project Manager Manoj Sharma.

There are likely to be some more arrests, police sources said.

In September a chimney in the 1,200-MW power plant of Bharat Aluminium Company Ltd (Balco) collapsed, leading to the death of at least 40 labourers. Around 300 labourers were working at that time.

4 months after Balco mishap, 3 Chinese arrested


Nearly four months after the chimney collapse which claimed 41 lives at the Vedanta Resources-controlled Bharat Aluminium Company Ltd’s upcoming power plant in Korba district of Chhattisgarh, police today arrested three Chinese officials in connection with the incident.

Police said Shandong Electric Power Construction Corp (SEPCO) project in-charge Woo Chunan, engineers O Lou and Wan Qung were arrested and produced before Korba judicial magistrate Sarojnand Das who rejected their bail plea and sent them to judicial custody.

After the September 23 incident, police had registered a case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder and common intention under Sections 304 and 34 of the IPC and other provisions dealing with voluntarily causing grievous hurt. Four Chinese officials were told to remain in the country while 70 others were allowed to return to China.

Earlier, police had arrested Manoj Sharma, project manager of Gannon Dunkerley & Company Limited (GDCL) which was engaged in construction of two industrial chimneys for the BALCO power plant. BALCO vice-president and project manager Viral Mehta, assistant general manager (project) Deepak Narang and graduate trainee engineer Anoop Mahapatra were also arrested.

BALCO had entrusted work of the power plant to SEPCO which had sub-contracted the chimney construction work to the GDCL.

Sources said police action against the Chinese officials came after the investigating team received a detailed report from Raipur-based National Institute of Technology which studied the chimney collapse. A judicial commission, headed by district and sessions judge Sandeep Bakshi, is also probing the circumstances that led to the chimney crash
