Three killed by CO leak in steel plant

The Deccan Herald has reported an incident in a steel plant in Bellary, where three people were killed due to CO leak. The article mentions
"Three workers, including an assistant manager, died on the spot after inhaling carbon monoxide at the Jindal (JSW) steel factory at Toranagal in Bellary district early Tuesday morning.
Lack of precautionary measures is the cause of the incident, said District Superintendent of Police Dr Chandragupta, who visited the spot. A case has been registered at the Toranagal police station.
The incident occurred when the trio came to the gas container at the blast furnace unit 2 of the energy management division (EMD), climbed down into the ‘U’ seal pot and turned the valve on to check the pipeline. The three men had gone to check the gas container on getting information from the control room that the gas level had slumped".
