BEIJING: According to state broadcaster Camera, two distinct coal plant accidents have resulted in the deaths of 12 people in China over the past 24 hours. These are the most recent calamities for the sector after the government recently revised mining safety legislation.
Five people were killed and two were missing when an underground coal bunker owned by a company in Zhongyang County, Shanxi province, collapsed just before midnight on Monday ( Mar 11 ), according to CCTV on Tuesday.
Taoyuan Xinlong Coal Industry Co Ltd owns the vault, and intensive recovery efforts are in progress, according to the store.
The miners security regulator’s announcement last month to urge mines to reduce overproduction led to the deadly accident in Shanxi. In China’s top-producing fuel own area, there was a rise in fatalities in 2023.
