Operations at Indian state-run steel producer Steel Authority of India Limited’s (SAIL) Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) have been affected by a minor fire breaking out at its Steel Melting Shop-2 on Monday, the company said in a statement on Wednesday, April 7.

“No one was injured in the incident. The work is going on to restore normal operations,” the statement said.
