Re: Garment factory fire kills over 200

this has to be the worst industrial disaster in pakistan.
btw the company which employs that many people should be big and should have a name? why arent they reporting the name of the company?

Re: Garment factory fire kills over 200
fire broke out in the same factory few months back as well, and yet shamelessly, owners didnt think of making fire escape plan.

Re: Garment factory fire kills over 200

Re: Garment factory fire kills over 300
It seems to be a big disaster. The problem that we have in Pakistan is that importance is not given to the safety of employees, there'd be many illegal factories operating in the country as well. This should serve as an eye opener for all the concerned authorities like the local council, building department and other inspectors.
Re: Garment factory fire kills over 300
The factory had only one exit (it should have had more than one exits), alarm systems, all the staff should have been trained what to do in case of emergency, and the assembly points. But these are the least of the worries for the factory owners in the country.
Re: Garment factory fire kills over 300
Talking about an eye opener and pakistan in one sentence .... Ali Syed yaar we both (and the rest on GS) know how much is learned from disasters of the last decade .... NOTHING
2005 Earth Quakes .... PPL still suffering
2010 Floods ..... PPL still suffering
Nothing will change unfortunatly :(
Insaniyyat ki koi qadr baqi nahi reh gaee :(
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un ..... May Allah SWT grant the deceased Jannat-ul-Firdoos. Ameen.
My heartfelt condolences to the loved ones of those who died

Re: Garment factory fire kills over 300
^ I know bro, every department is super corrupt, although this should have been identified during the establishment of the factory and I believe inspections should ideally have been carried out in the factory during the past few years.
Re: Garment factory fire kills over 300
^ unfortunately willfulness ignorance of workers safety is universal with the bottom line profits taking precedence over everything else.
Re: Garment factory fire kills over 300
^ I agree, but the situation is worse in Third World countries where corruption is rife, no checks and balances and no legislation for the health and safety of staff.
Re: Garment factory fire kills over 300
Yes that is both true and sad. The little guy esp in 3rd world country has no voice. So he does not count.
Re: Garment factory fire kills over 300
Extremely tragic. I am just shocked to see death toll rise so dramatically in last few hours.
Now I read on news sites that Factory did not even have proper safety mechanisms. That is abysmal. Factory owners should be trialled.
Re: Garment factory fire kills over 60
They need to find the owners held them accountable for this.
