NEW DELHI — A boat carrying 75 tourists capsized on a reservoir in southern India on Wednesday, killing at least 28 people and leaving dozens missing, police said.

The state-owned boat was traveling in the remote Thekkady forest area in Kerala state and capsized after the tourists rushed to one side as they spotted some animals in the forest, tilting the vessel over, said police officer R. Rajesh.

Rescuers have fished out 28 bodies from the reservoir and were looking for 27 other missing tourists, police officer Rajesh told The Associated Press.

Rajesh also said 20 people have been rescued so far and taken to the hospital.

Most of the tourists were from the neighboring state of Karnataka, he told The Associated Press.

Rescuers used heavy cranes and saws to free more than a dozen people still trapped in the rubble of a large chimney that collapsed at a power plant under construction in central India, killing at least 14 people, police said Thursday.

R.K. Vij, inspector-general of police, revised the death toll to 14 from the figure of 20 that was given earlier by police, and said another seven people were hospitalized. All 14 bodies have been recovered.

"There was some confusion about the number of dead and the injured" soon after Wednesday's accident, Vij told The Associated Press.

Vij said at least 20 workers were still trapped in the rubble at the construction site in Korba, nearly 600 miles (960 kilometers) southeast of New Delhi.

The 250-foot (75-meter) chimney came crashing down in the plant's cafeteria as construction workers had tea, said Vishwa Ranjan, the director-general of police in Chhattisgarh state, where the accident occurred.

A chimney caved in at a power plant being constructed in central India on Wednesday, killing at least 20 people and injuring 15 others, a news report said.

About 70 workers were feared trapped under the rubble at the plant being built by the Bharat Aluminum Co. at Korba in Chattisgarh state, the Press Trust of India news agency quoted local administrator Ashok Agarwal as saying.

About 300 people were working at the power plant at the time of the accident, PTI said.

The cause of the accident was not immediately known.

Raman Singh, the top elected official of Chhattisgarh state, ordered a probe into the accident, PTI said.
