    Incidents like this put onus on workplace safety... Every life is precious and has a story to tell... We must not be the reason to cut that story short... Many workplace precautions are basic and easily understandable common sense items... Here laborers were subjected to dynamic situation of huge train movement... Vertical cut excavations are very fragile and need to be stepped or slanted to play safe with angle of repose... Sad to read about easily preventable loss of lives...

    Here the contractor is booked. But in gujrat the negligence which led to bridge collapse and death of 40 people most of it children, bjp govt books case against ticket vendors. The govt knows that even education to people is useless in front of feeding hate to public.
