Islamabad
- Lack of safety standards has led to human tragedy as result of fire in a ship
at Gadani coast last week.
More
than 55 people died over 100 others were injured.
According
to informed sources, this fact came to light in the inquiry report of the joint
committee of the federal, Balochistan and Sindh governments.
According
to sources, there is dismal situation as there is no proper safety regime being
followed by the ship breakers.
The
report recommended the government to ensure that strict safety measures were
adopted to prevent such incidents in the future.
Balochistan
government has imposed Section 144 in Gadani since the mishap, which brought
the ship breaking business to a standstill.
Sources further said that ship breakers
largely hailing from Karachi were struggle to get themselves absolved of any
culpability by using various channels including the Balochistan government,
which regulated the ship breaking business at Gadani.
