Telangana factory safety gaps: Few inspections, many loopholes; 45,000 workers at risk, Sigachi blast sparks alarm

Telangana's factory inspections are infrequent, raising safety concerns. Many factories, including those with hazardous operations, are inspected only once a year. This contrasts sharply with other states. A recent explosion at the Sigachi factory in Pashamylaram highlighted the issue. The factory was inspected once and not categorized as hazardous. Experts say inspections are perfunctory, allowing safety protocol bypasses.
