GUWAHATI: Tragedy struck a concrete factory when a technician died after getting stuck inside a Concrete Crushing Machine on Wednesday, December 7, 2022, in Assam’s Dima Hasao district.
The unfortunate incident took place at the concrete factory located at Kokdalangso, Panimur in the Dima Hasao district of Assam.
According to reports, the deceased technician identified as Ashok Borsaikia had gone to check a Concrete Crushing Machine after it had developed a technical snag.
The deceased, Ashok Borsaikia aged 30 years, hailed from Sonowal Gaon Villiage in the Tinsukia District of Assam.
A police team rushed to the factory site after having received the news. The body was recovered and sent to Haflong civil hospital for autopsy.
As per reports, the body is expected to be handed over to Ashok’s family on Thursday, December 8, 2022, after the post-mortem.
At the time of filing this news report, it has been learnt that local residents have sought a high-level probe into the incident.
Some serious questions come to the fore concerning safety-related loopholes for workers at factories following the latest tragedy which struck the concrete factory at Assam’s Dima Hasao.
This needs to be mentioned that, it was in October this year that a worker was seriously injured while working at a factory situated in the Fatemabad tea estate in the Baksa district of Assam.
Earlier this year in July, a female worker got injured while she was working at Lepetkatta tea garden in the Dibrugarh district in Assam.
Besides these unfortunate series of incidents, three employees of the North Eastern Electric Power Corporation Limited (NEEPCO) were killed in a turbine explosion at its Khandang hydropower project in the Dima Hasao district of Assam earlier this year in March.
