Mumbai, 5 March – Death of innocent workers in the devastating blast in the explosives factory at Katol in Nagpur district has been heart-wrenching. To avoid recurrence of such mishaps in future, it is necessary to bring automation in the process, stated Chief Minister Devendra Fadanvis in the Legislative Council. He also declared that a memorandum would be presented to the Central Government for incorporating drastic amendments to the old regulations of 2008 in this regard.

Human interference to be reduced to save workers’ lives
