ZURICH, Sept 9 (Reuters) – Two people were seriously injured on Wednesday after an explosion at a hydroelectric power station in southern Switzerland, local police said.

The explosion in the village of Piotta was caused by a workplace accident, state broadcaster RSI reported.

A spokesperson for police in the canton of Ticino said the condition of the building was still under investigation after initial reports that the blast had caused a partial collapse.

Nine Years, Made Possible by Readers

In 2017, Shekhar Gupta started ThePrint with a simple belief: Indian readers want journalism that asks why and what next, not just what. And that enough of them would be willing to pay for good journalism.

Nine years on, that belief has held.

And, in these nine years, we’ve stayed true to our mission. We’ve been asking the follow-up questions, going beyond the headlines and explaining what’s actually happening. We’ve travelled across the country to bring you in-depth, visually-compelling stories from the ground.

It’s been nine years of readers choosing to make this possible. If you’d like to be one of them:
