Nahan, April 19 -- A 29-year-old worker was killed in an alleged industrial accident in Himachal's Sirmaur district on Saturday, sparking outrage as labourers took to the streets in anger, raising slogans and accusing the factory management of negligence, officials said. Tika Ram was killed when the cables of a lift allegedly snapped at the Sunvet Health Care Company, located in Shambhuwala village on the Nahan-Paonta road, approximately 15 kilometres from Nahan. The angry labourers gathered on the main Nahan-Paonta road, alleging that the factory management had failed to repair the malfunctioning lift, despite receiving multiple complaints over several days, and that failure led to the accident. Following assurances and persuasion from the factory management, the workers eventually returned to the factory premises. Yogesh Rolta, additional superintendent of police (ASP) Sirmaur, told the media that a case of death by negligence and rash act endangering human life has been registered against the factory management underSections 106(1) and 125 of the BNS, and an investigation into the matter is currently underway.
