A major accident occurred at a cement factory in Rajgangpur, Sundargarh district. Several workers were trapped under coal after a coal hopper collapsed at the factory. Rescue operations are ongoing to free the trapped workers. Multiple ambulances have arrived at the site to transport the injured to nearby hospitals.
According to media reports, at least four people have died in the accident, and the death toll is expected to rise as many workers remain trapped under the hopper. The incident took place when more than 12 workers were working beneath the coal hopper. The sudden collapse of the hopper caused the workers to be buried under the coal.
