Five dead in Orissa's steel plant fire

Jharsuguda (Orissa), May 11 (ANI): At least five persons were reportedly dead and over six others injured in the fire that engulfed a private steel plant in Orissa's Jharsuguda District on Tuesday.

Five bodies have been recovered from the factory, named MSP Metallics Ltd, and three critically injured workers have been admitted to the nearby hospital.

"Ten people were there in the factory when the fire broke out, but only four of them have been rescued," said Prakash, a worker.
