Six workers were injured and one killed in a coal dust explosion and fire at a power generating plant.
Three injured mechanics and electricians were in critical condition at hospital with third degree burns over more than half of their body.
The accident occurred in a unit of the plant's coal burning plant minutes after workers restarted a coal pulverizer.
The pulveriser had been taken off-line for some maintenance work. The mechanics had finished the maintenance and were testing it. The cause of the explosion is not known.
