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.

“The incident comes under the heinous crime category. So, I demand stern action against responsible persons, proper treatment facility for injured persons and payment of compensation,” said Deepak Prakash in his letter to the chief minister.
