Officials remained silent after being surrounded, MLA accused of negligence
As soon as the information about the accident was received, Collector Dr. Sandesh Nayak and ADM Yugantar Sharma and other top officials reached the spot along with the staff. The operation of such an illegal factory in a residential area has directly exposed the promptness of the local police and administration. While the administrative officials were seen evading the questions of accountability by citing investigation, Congress MLA Amin Kagzi, who reached the spot, directly held the administration responsible for the incident.
