Srisailam power plant fire: Rescue efforts in vain as station turns inferno

HYDERABAD: The rescue operations on Friday at the underground hydel power station in Srisailam did not yield fruitful results as the nine people who were trapped inside the building could not be brought out alive.

However, the search for the victims and then bringing out the bodies was a tough task as the power station turned into an underground inferno, billowing thick, toxic smoke.
