Besides this, the Rajya Sabha MP  has also asked the chief minister for immediate action against the factory inspector of Hazaribagh and other concerned officials for overlooking safety guidelines in the factory. “Had the factory Inspector and other responsible officers followed safety guidelines, such an incident would not have occurred,” he said.
