At least 15 workers have been killed and at least 50 are feared trapped after a building collapse in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh, officials say.
Officials say that a chimney caved in on more than 100 workers during construction work at a thermal power plant, the BBC reported.
The accident happened in the town of Korba, 200 kilometers from the state capital Raipur.
The plant is being built by Bharat Aluminium Co Ltd (Balco). Balco is a unit of London Stock Exchange-listed Vedanta Plc, whose business activities are centred on India.
"It's a massive accident. We have launched a rescue and relief operation to save about 50 workers and engineers trapped inside", Ratanlal Dangi, district superintendent of police, said.
It is not clear what caused the accident although reports say the area has been experiencing heavy rain and storms.
