The Tata iPhone factory is one that has previously been threatened with being shut down over environmental concerns. Now according to Reuters, three contract workers have died while inspecting an effluent treatment plant on the site.
The deaths happened late on November 9, 2026. The three workers reportedly inhaled an unspecified gas while they were inspecting an external nano-filtration tank operated on the site by Nalco Water.
