A major lapse in safety standards has come to light at the Yamuna bridge construction site in Hamirpur, where workers are being made to carry out high-altitude work without safety belts and protective equipment. Labourers engaged in the bridge construction are working at dangerous heights with their lives at risk, as basic safety arrangements including helmets, safety belts and protective nets have not been provided at the site.
The contractor remains indifferent to the safety violations despite the fact that a major accident can occur at any time. Some time ago, the district witnessed a major accident at another under-construction bridge. The lives of workers are now under threat due to the negligence of departmental officials who have turned a blind eye to the violations. A video showing the negligence has also surfaced, exposing the unsafe working conditions. Dileep Kumar, the District Project Officer, has given a statement on the matter.
