Local risks in Korba

Chimney collapse at a power plant site

On 23 September 2009 an 820 foot chimney under construction at the BALCO power plant in Korba collapsed onto a cafeteria where workers were having tea, and at least 35 people were killed. The company blamed heavy rain and lightning as a probable cause pending an inquiry.

Coal pitch fire in Kharmora

At about 1.05 pm on a Saturday in late July 2026 a fire started in coal pitch inside a carbon factory in the Kharmora industrial area. It took about three hours and extra tenders from BALCO, a thermal power station and the NTPC fire control room to bring it under control, and no one was reported hurt.

Transformer fire at a power plant

At about 1.45 am on 1 May 2026 a power transformer for a 300 MW unit at a Bandhakhar power plant blew up and caught fire, and generation from the unit stopped. Fire units from a nearby plant needed more than two hours to control it, and few staff were on duty at that hour.

Furniture shop fire in a narrow market

On 22 June 2026 a fire gutted a furniture shop in Somwari Market in the Banki Mongra area, and neighbours fought it with buckets and pipes. Residents said the fire engine took long to arrive, and fire officials said narrow market lanes slowed it, so traders asked for a fire station and wider lanes.

Stay safe: quick checklist

Save 112, 101, 108 and 100 in your phone. Teach children and elders how to use them.
In a plant or factory know your exit and assembly point, keep the fire door clear, and report a leak, spark or smoke at once. Never go back for belongings.
A transformer or a stack of coal pitch can burn for hours, so stay well back from the smoke and the heat and let the plant fire team and the city brigade work.

Shopkeepers should keep the lane in front of the shop clear of goods so that a fire engine can reach it, keep a bucket or extinguisher at the door, and call 101 or 112 without waiting.
Near the plants, if smoke drifts towards your home, close the windows and keep children indoors until the local announcement says it is clear.
Cool the burn under cool, clean running water for 20 minutes. Even 10 minutes helps if that's all you can manage. No ice, toothpaste, oil or butter.
