Visakhapatnam, March12

A minor fire accident occurred in Visakhapatnam steel plant on Monday morning, but there was no substantial damage or production loss, according to a press release issued by the company.

The release said, "Sinter is cooled in the drum coolers and then in straight line coolers and is transported to the blast furnace through a series of conveyor belts.

On Monday at 8.30 a.m. two of the belts were burnt partially due to the discharge of hot sinter. The discharge was stopped immediately and further damage to the belts was avoided. Production, however, continued through another sinter machine." Mr Y. Sivasagara Rao, Chairman and Managing Director, dismissed it as a minor mishap in a big plant.
