Rourkela: An employee of Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) died after he was found in a critical condition inside a tunnel of the Steel Melting Shop 2 (SMS) department under mysterious circumstances.
The deceased, identified as A Baxla (56), was a regular employee of the RSP.
The incident took place on Saturday evening after Baxla had gone to the tunnel of the basic oxygen furnace section of SMS-2 to evacuate water, sources said.
