Workers allege that the plant lacks security and they are being done without safety equipment and training. Workers’ safety is being ignored in the race for profit. The police have recorded statements of the family members of the deceased and fellow employees.
Puni Ram, the elder brother of the deceased Satish Kumar, said that he is originally from Kapan. He was working for the last 6 months. His friends told him on the phone that Satish fainted and he is being taken to the hospital. When I reached there, I saw that he was already dead. Satish was a welder and welding pipelines in the plant. During this time he was buried due to the slipping of the soil. And he died.
