THE death toll in a fire at a state-owned oil refinery in southern India has risen to 10 after six bodies were recovered from the accident site.
The fire broke out on Friday at a refinery of Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd, in the southern city of Vishakhapatnam, after an explosion at a distillery unit where expansion work was taking place.
Two bodies were recovered from the accident site on Friday while two injured died later the same night.
Six charred bodies were found on Saturday, Vishakhapatnam Police Commissioner B Shivadhar Reddy said.
At least 30 people, most of them contract workers, are being treated for burn injuries.
The condition of six is said to be serious. The dead included one employee of the company.
The cause of the explosion was not yet clear but the fire was brought under control late Friday, Reddy said, adding that no one else was trapped in the debris.
Federal Petroleum Minister Veerappa Moily said an official of the Oil India Safety Directorate had been asked to inquire into the incident and submit a report within 15 days. Local police are also investigating.
