Fire Rages at Telangana's Srisailam Power Plant

VOA News

   Indian officials said Friday they fear nine people remain trapped
   inside the Srisailam power plant after a fire late Thursday.

   Authorities say at least eight people escaped the underground facility
   after the blaze started.

   The hydroelectric power plant is a joint project of Telegana and Andhra
   Pradesh states. The fire broke out on the Telegana side of the
   facility.

   Heavy smoke prevented emergency workers from locating the people
   remaining inside.
