14. Shattered after losing nine of their colleagues in the tragedy which took place at a polymers factory which collapsed after a major fire in Mushtaq Ganj of Ludhiana, the firemen at the site Wednesday blasted the local MLA for his “insensitive” comment. They also alleged their salaries had not been released for two months and they were not even informed about the inflammable materials stored in the factory when the fire broke out.
15. Addressing the media, the firemen said, “On Wednesday morning, the local MLA visited the spot and said we entered the fire-engulfed building on our own and that no one forced us to do so. He said ‘who told you to go inside’. We entered the building without having safety gears and after losing nine of our men, this is how he is adding insult to our injury.”
16. The firemen said they wore gunny bags soaked in water and entered building as there were no fire safety kits. “We were not even informed there were plastics and other hazardous chemicals inside. As some of our firemen came out seeing that it was getting dangerous, the factory owner took us inside again and asked us to work. And today, a politician comes and says we did it on our own,” they said.
17. Ludhiana Central MLA Surinder Dawar, when contacted, said his words were “misunderstood”. “They raised their issues with me and I said I will personally raise them in Vidhan Sabha. I never meant to hurt their feelings or downplay their efforts. We all know how brave they have been. I don’t remember saying anything of this sort,” said Dabur.
Violations galore in fire-prone Ludhiana; MC fails to rise from deep slumber:
18. Even as five hosiery units have been destroyed in fire incidents in the past one month owing to lack of safety equipment, the municipal corporation (MC) continues to remain in deep slumber over the violations of building bylaws and safety norms at such units.

19. In view of the above, will ever the politicians and officials dedicate themselves for enforcing the much-needed simple rules and regulations of urban safety???
