Female employee dies in Sonarpur factory

In a factory located in the Sonarpur police station area of South 24 Parganas, a tragic incident involving the death of a foreign female employee has stirred emotions and raised concerns. The deceased worker, identified as Ruby Kumari, hailing from Jharkhand, had been ailing for the past four days, experiencing various health issues, including vomiting and cough. It is alleged that she had repeatedly requested leave from the factory owner but was denied. Furthermore, allegations suggest that she did not receive proper medical attention and continued working despite her deteriorating health, ultimately leading to her demise.

The incident came to light when reports of vandalism in the factory and protests by fellow workers reached the authorities. The Sonarpur police promptly responded to the situation, restoring order at the factory. An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident has been initiated, and the family of the deceased has been informed. Additionally, twelve other workers have reported symptoms of cold and cough.

Factory officials, however, have refuted the allegations, emphasizing their commitment to the health and well-being of their employees. The incident has brought attention to the need for ensuring the welfare and safety of workers in industrial settings.
