Rourkela, Nov 22: Two contract workers were injured, one of them seriously, when they fell down from a height of 12 ft while fitting a plate in a gas tanker of the Rourkela Steel Plant on Saturday, Nov 22. While Pintu Ray, a contract worker of private organisation MICO, was admitted to Ispat General Hospital with serious injuries, his helper Rajendra Kumar Sahoo escaped with minor wounds.
