A serious accident has occurred at the Gua iron ore mine in West Singhbhum, operated by Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL). A 50-ton water tanker, reportedly en route for dust suppression, overturned unexpectedly on Thursday afternoon. The incident, which took place around noon near a sharp turning point within the mine, resulted in severe injuries to the vehicle’s driver and a SAIL employee named Rajkumar Singh. Eyewitness accounts suggest the heavy tanker lost balance while ascending a slope, leading to the driver losing control. The extreme weight of the vehicle caused the cabin to be crushed, trapping the operator inside.
