NTPC blast shows how health safety, environment standards are lacking

So far, the explosion at NTPC's Unchahar plant has claimed over 29 lives

The explosion in a boiler at NTPC’s Unchahar plant in Rae Bareli district has to this point claimed more than 29 lives.
For a rustic like India, which has commercial disasters like the Bhopal fuel leak, this incident another time shows how health
Ntpc boiler blast : safety and surroundings requirements are lacking. Incidents just like the chlorine gasoline leak at Jamshedpur (2008), a toluene fireplace at a Ranbaxy manufacturing facility in Mohali (2003) and a chlorine fuel leak in Vadodara (2002) are a number of the black spots in India’s business records.
according to the countrywide Crime information Bureau, 831 have been killed during 2014-15 in industrial explosions on my own.
