They have been charged under the Factories Act, 1948, the department's deputy director Manish Shrivastav said today.

As many as 41 people were killed in the chimney collapse at Vedanta Resources-controlled Bharat Aluminium Company Ltd's (Balco) upcoming power plant here on September 23.

Besides Balco Chief Executive Gunjan Gupta, others named in the charge sheet include the company's project manager Viral Mehta, Hau Zozin, CEO of Chinese firm SEPCO and five directors of Gannon Dunkerley and Company Ltd (GDCL).
