Federal Minister Sajid Hussain directs for a thorough report on J?mshoro Coal Mines incident. "We will ensure that those responsible for the incident are brought to justice," said the Federal Minister It should be noted that two laborers, who belonged to a tribe hailing from the district of Karam Seharif in Sindh, lost their lives due to suffocation in J?mshoro Coal Mines during work. According to rescue officials, the incident occurred because of a rope breaking while they were working in the mine. Initial investigations revealed that the incident occurred on a disputed land belonging to the Goharullah Off Fath Group, which has been in dispute for a long time. The owners were previously stopped from working on the land, and the case is currently under investigation by the Sindh High Court, NAB, and other government agencies. The Federal Minister added that it is entirely wrong to give coal mines leases to inexperienced individuals. The continuous violation of the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923, by exploiting poor laborers will not be tolerated. Expressing his condolences to the affected families, the Federal Minister said that the provocation of grief-stricken families is estimated, and justice will be served to the widows and children of the deceased as soon as possible. Relevant institutions have been directed to conduct a complete investigation and submit a report. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
