Conclusion:
After reading these two incidents , it just horrible to realize that after each incidents why so much reaction from entire labor communities ,as in the first case , trawler ran over labor and that is a clear cut case of bad driving or rash driving on the part of trawler , then why the plants to be affected from this and also why other three trawlers should be burnt with it , these are not the justifications as the case with it , that trawler was not from the plant as the work were outsourced and also there should be a separate route for machine and for men .
In the second incident, it seemed to be a mystery but that did not imply that most of labor reached that spot and started to disturb entire situations, as we all know working inside plant is itself a hazardous task and for this calm and a god mind is the necessity.
