The workers are the first casualty in any industrial accident. The latest is that two workers, a chemist and a contract worker in the Dr. Reddy’s Laboratory located in Medak, Andhra Pradesh has succumbed to a gas leak in the factory. They were on night duty when the accident happened. It will be clear only when the inquiry is over to what resulted in the accident. However, there is every chance that there might have been criminal  negligence on the part of the management as is usual.
