We donât know if it happened due to a short circuit or any other reason. We have to find it out, the SP said.
Such incidents are happening at regular intervals in various states. Whenever such things happen, the issue of the safety measures arises and people forget the issue when a new one gets reported.
Many establishments start their work without following the safety parameters. Skipping the parameters makes it hard for the victims to escape or leave the facility immediately. It's high time that the owners should think about the safety of the workers and the governments should make sure that the guidelines are implemented without compromise.
