In yet another accident involving the Navy, one civilian worker was killed and two were injured in an accident at the nuclear submarine under construction at the shipbuilding centre of Eastern Naval Command (ENC) on Saturday.
The incident took place when the pressure of the hydraulic tank of the Arihant class submarine was being tested and the tank's lid fell on the workers of L &T at Building-5 of the shipbuilding centre, Defence Research Development Organization (DRDO) chief Avinash Chander told PTI.
He said one worker "unfortunately lost his life" in the incident.
Police sources said 24-year-old Amar was killed on the spot while Amzad Khan and Vishnu were seriously injured and admitted to a private hospital in the city.
The nuclear submarine was a follow-up of the Navy's warship INS Arihant.
Chander said an inquiry has been ordered into the incident and maintained there was no setback to the programme for development of Arihant class submarines.
