NEW DELHI: The Centre has decided to restrain 89 Chinese nationals from leaving the country after the Balco incident, which left 41 workers dead.
The Chinese workers, who have been restrained from leaving India, are employed at the Bharat Aluminium Company Limited (Balco) thermal power plant at Korba in Chhattisgarh where an under-construction chimney collapsed, leading to these casualties on Wednesday. The death toll may rise further as the debris at the site is yet to be fully cleared.
Immigration authorities across the country were alerted as a number of Chinese employees had fled Korba fearing the ire of the locals in the wake of the rising toll. Officials at airports were asked not to allow these 89 Chinese engineers and workers to leave the country as their presence was needed during the probe into the incident.
