In adherence to stringent commitment to safety, country’s leading mining giant NMDC is conducting a thorough investigation into the Kiranul incident that took place on Tuesday. 

In the wake of this unfortunate event, the Senior Management of NMDC extended their deepest condolences and support to the bereaved families.

On Tuesday afternoon, a tragic incident was reported at a construction site in the Kirandul Complex of NMDC wherein 4 lives were lost due to the collapse of rock formations on the hillside. An unpredictable collapse of strata from a 70 meter high rock formation landed on the workers on the construction site at Screening Plant III.

Though rescue operations were immediately initiated, the 4 men could not be rescued alive. Two other men who sustained injuries during this incident are being treated at the NMDC Hospital and now out of harm’s way.
