Bhilai Steel Plant Denies Reports of Proposed Sale Amid Congress Allegations
Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP), a unit of Steel Authority of India Limited, has denied reports of its proposed sale as false and misleading. The Ministry of Steel and Press Information Bureau Fact Check also refuted these claims. The plant emphasized its importance to Chhattisgarh's industrial heritage and urged the public and employees to rely on official sources. Allegations by Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel about an Adani Group visit sparked concerns, which BSP and government bodies have dismissed to prevent misinformation.
