Stern Action 30 Sep 2009 11:49 am
The Government should take stern action on the management for the failure of safety of the workers. It clearly indicates that this is the worst management attitude towards employees. All the culprits behind this accident should be booked with serious imprisonment. Balco Management is one of the worst management in the world. I have already worked for this company. The total management is crap and rubbish people. All practices are unethical and totally worst company to work. All the culprits should be booked behind this act. I am really sad for the families of the people died in this mishap.
