Death of five labourers: DLF STP ran without a licence, says Govt report

Delhi | Wednesday | 19th September, 2018

Summary:

Shivaji Marg Maintenance Services Ltd, the overall in-charge of the STP, allowed workers to enter the STP without any safety equipment, the report adds. A day after the incident on September 9, a senior labour department official had claimed that the premises could not be considered a factory. “It was found running without registration and grant of licence,” the report states. They have been asked to respond by September 19, following which “necessary action, including prosecution, would be initiated”. Days after five workers died cleaning a sewage treatment plant (STP) in Moti Nagar’s DLF Capital Greens, a Delhi government inquiry has flagged multiple violations, including the fact that the facility was running without a mandatory licence and registration..
