Reliance Industries received a jolt on Wednesday morning when a fire at its Jamnagar complex led to a shut-down of some of its units and seriously injured one of its employees.
The fire which broke out at 10.40 a.m. was brought under control by Reliance Plant and Fire Fighting Personnel in less than two hours, said a statement from the company.
The flames that rose to a height of 40 ft were visible from several kilometres away, and covered the refinery in a thick cloud of smoke, according to eyewitness reports.
The authorities swung into action, summoning all the available fire tenders from the neighbouring industrial units and evacuating the residential areas, mainly those where the labourers lived.
The Reliance employee who was injured may be brought to Mumbai for treatment, said sources. There were no other human casualties, said the company.
