Massive boiler blast at Neyveli Lignite Corporation Limited in Tamil Nadu, 200 km from Chennai.

According to Initial reports 6 workers are dead and over 17 severely injured. All the workers killed are contract workers - Padmanabhan, Arun, Venkatesan, Nagarajan,
Silambarasan.

This is the second such boiler blast at this coal (lignite)-fired power plant complex in two last months.

These deadly industrial accidents are not mere coincidences. Contract workers & migrant worker are the most vulnerable among industrial workforce in our
country. All labour reforms by States and Central government are aimed at maximisation of profit over labour. Occupational safety and workplace protection of labour force is of least concern to the owners and administrators of industries.These accidents are simply murder of
workers due to negligence and systematic dismantling of environmental, industrial safety and occupational hazard laws.

The photographs coming from Neyveli are too graphic. Below given are only a few.
