Death of the worker in Shiracha  power  plant in Kutch


S.U.C.I. DEMANDS FOR  IMPLEMENTATION OF SAFETY NORMS AND STRICT LABOUR LAWS, 
COMPENSATION AND ENQUIRY


The Socialist Unity Centre of India (S.U.C.I.) Gujarat State Organising 
Committee expresses deep anguish over the death of the worker in Shiracha 
( Near Mundra - Kutch) in the power  plant of  Adani Group on 7th May; 
falling from the top of the chimney of 228 feet height. This incident of 
worker's death has again exposed the absence of safety norms for the 
workers, and least respect for the labour laws in Gujarat by the 
industrialists, contractors making the whole state as the haven for ruthless 
exploitation of the workers in the name of development.
S.U.C.I. condemns the reign of terror by the police on the aggrieved workers 
and registering cases of rioting on 5000 workers, who were demanding 
adequate compensation and justice from the company.
S.U.C.I. demands adequate compensation to the family of the deceased 
workers, compensation to the injured, safety for the workers and the strict 
implementation of labour laws, a high level inquiry and action against the 
culprit. And withdrawal of cases against aggrieved agitating workers.
S.U.C.I. will again draw the attention of the Ministry of Labour of both 
Central and State Governments, NHRC, and International Labour Organisation 
(ILO) about the working condition of workers  ands flouting of all labour 
laws in Gujarat.
