A young man sent to work in a sewage recycling plant bidding bye to his three year old daughter and wife saying that he will be late that night.He inhaled the poisonous gas and got killed along with three others.The little one is still playing thinking that dad will come late.This happened a couple of days back in Chennai South India. Why should this happen?

Offcourse its very cruel and sad to note that the innocent girl child still waiting for her fathers home coming..i could imagine the pathetic condition of the mother and child after this incident..their days will be critical and this kind of incident happen many times but still the people who hire employees to work in such kind of dangerous situation fail to provide proper protection to them.

I always appreciate you as a curseder who fights for the bad things in the society.This is another example how callous the Government in imposing its rules.Shame and disgusting.

Bala, this is sad, cruel, gross, pathetic, horrible... I think, the employers have always been the big bosses who would not bother to ensure security measures for the workers. Our law should change drastically and more importantly the implementation of those should be taken care of. These things are not new but it's high time that the awereness comes. I think, even as we speak if we could reach out to even a meagre section, it's hope. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

This is indeed very cruel.See the value people have for human lives? Its really pathetic.I think this can happen only here.I wonder what they do in other countries,probably they must be having some mechanism where people need not do this job?This poor soul must have been doing this job to earn his living.Its a real pity.

The factory manager is trying to pass the much saying that he was not wearing the safety mask.The Thermox company has not contacted the family yet.Yes this can only happen here.Mera Bharat Mahan.

I think that is so irresponsible to allow a man to work under those dangerous conditions. The owners of the sewage recycling plant should answer to the authorities. Workers need to be protected.
