भगवानपुर। भगवानपुर के रायपुर औद्योगिक क्षेत्र स्थित कामा मेटल फैक्ट्री में श्रमिक के ऊपर लोहे की गर्म सिल्ली गिर गई। इससे उसकी मौके पर ही मौत हो गई।
जानकारी के मुताबिक रायपुर निवासी अर्जुन सैनी (20 वर्ष) पुत्र शंभू सैनी कामा मेटल फैक्ट्री में काम करता था। आज सुबह लोहे की गर्म सिल्ली क्रेन से उतारते समय नीचे गिर गई। इससे अर्जुन इसकी चपेट में आकर दब गया। जब तक उससे सिल्ली को हटाया गया तो तब तक उसने दम तोड़ दिया। इस मामले में ग्रामीण फैक्ट्री प्रबंधन पर लापरवाही का आरोप लगा रहे हैं।
