Visakhapatnam (Aganampudi): Monday was meant to be the weekly off for 40-year-old Aganampudi resident Nakkaraju Appalaraju, but tragically turned out to be the day of his death along with eight other workers in the Vizag steel plant mishap.

The workers were burnt alive when the heavy metal ladle malfunctioned and collapsed causing the scalding liquid steel to spill directly onto the workers operating underneath in the Steel Melting Shop of the plant.
