Notice issued to contractor after two workers die at Sola STP plant

Two labourers have tragically lost their lives due to severe negligence during work at an STP (Sewage Treatment Plant) located in the Sola area of Ahmedabad city. Following this incident, heavy resentment was observed among workers and local residents, prompting the administrative system to order a high-level probe.

According to a report by Sandesh, preliminary investigations by the administration revealed that the contractor had deployed labourers for hazardous work without providing necessary safety kits or adequate protective equipment. For this serious negligence, a notice imposing a fine of ₹50 lakh has been served to the concerned contractor. The police are conducting an in-depth investigation to determine whose fault it was and who is responsible.

Significant decisions have been taken to provide financial assistance to the families of the two deceased workers. Financial aid of ₹30 lakh each will be paid to both families. Furthermore, adopting a humanitarian approach, it has been announced that all expenses and responsibilities regarding the future and education of the deceased's children will be borne by the contractor.

An intensive legal investigation into the entire case is currently being carried out by the police.
