Uncontrolled truck rams into guard cabin, security personnel’s condition critical

Korba: A truck rolled and entered the guard cabin of a thermal power plant. Due to this incident the cabin broke and fell on the guard. The seriously injured employee was taken to a private hospital for treatment. There is dissatisfaction among the employees regarding this incident. There is a gate behind the power utility’s DSPM power plant at East Kurba for transportation of ash from the silo. From here there is only highway and truck traffic and there is heaps of ash. Security forces have also been deployed at the register to monitor and ensure the movement of these heavy vehicles. Huts (like domes) were built for the workers. Where the employees sit and fill the registration and cut the forms.

Security guard Ramsine Kanwar, 50, was working her second shift on Tuesday and was sitting in her hut (Gameti) when a huge pile of ash fell from the highway. The driver named Shahu Ahmed parked his car on the side of the road and did not apply the handbrake. After coming down from the mountain, the driver entered the cab and started slipping. Meanwhile Hiba rolled towards the cap. Before others, including the security guard, could understand anything, the truck collided with the cabin, causing the cabin to open and fall on the security guard. Security guard Ram Singh suffered injuries on his head and back in this incident.

As soon as information about this incident was received, other officers and police immediately reached the spot and took the injured security guard to a private hospital. At the same time, people started covering up the problem. Other security forces are also angry about this incident. Employees say that the management did not pay any attention to security. Only a hut was built and abandoned. We tried Dr. An attempt was made to contact the power plant’s chief engineer Hemant Sachdeva on his mobile phone to discuss the matter, but he did not pick up the phone. Employees say that the security personnel are continuously ignoring them. All precautions should be taken for the safety of workers, but the managers of the safety department are indifferent to this issue. In the name of security, responsibilities are ignored just by catering to the needs of the people. In fact, these positions are filled by engineers, not security heads. Therefore security is ignored.
