Boiler explosion at Loyal Superfabrics; One injured
Cuddalore, 10 March, 2006 -- A casual worker
operating a steam boiler in Loyal Superfabrics --
an industrial textile manufacturer -- was injured after he was exposed to a
gust of super-heated steam. D. Sakthivel, aged
23, of Karaikadu village was burnt on one
side of his face and his arm. According to one report, "The company
dumped him in a private hospital and left. The doctor there asked the
victim to go home, shower and return because he was covered with soot from
the boiler."
Seeing his condition, Pazha
Thamaraikannan -- the Chairman of the Cuddalore District Panchayat
Union Council -- took him to the Government Hospital and got him admitted
there. Further details regarding identity of the worker and police
investigations, if any, are awaited.
