Uri, December 29: AIP President Er. Rasheed today visited different villages of Uri including Nambla, Balkote, Dachina, Salamabad and Mothel to express solidarity with the families of laborers who lost their lives in Utrakhand few days back.
A spokesman of AIP said that while talking to the families of the victims Er. Rasheed offered legal assistance to fight the battle of justice for victims in Utrakhand.
“While prompt action by administration in getting dead bodies back from Utrakhand is appreciable, the rehabilitation of the families deserves immediate response from the government. The state government should have filed a suit in the concerned court at Utrakhand against the negligence of the company with which the ill-fated potters were working, but unfortunately the state government has preferred to keep silence over the issue. The incident needs a serious and time bound probe and not only those found guilty of negligence deserve to be punished but the families have every right to seek compensations under labor laws and other prevailing laws”, the spokesman quoted Er. Rasheed as saying.
