In response to the recent electrocution tragedy at Pedakakani goshala in Guntur, the Guntur Municipal Corporation (GMC) has introduced comprehensive worker safety measures. After four labourers died during sump cleaning—a critical reminder of on‑site hazards—the GMC announced enhanced protocols including regular safety audits, mandatory training sessions, and improved protective equipment inspections. The initiative targets better implementation of labour laws and public health standards, ensuring all sanitation and construction workers are shielded from avoidable risks. An official inquiry will examine possible negligence, focusing on adherence to safety regulations and the responsibility of supervisory staff. By reinforcing occupational safety guidelines and instituting proactive monitoring, the GMC aims to safeguard workers and prevent such tragedies. Guntur’s renewed commitment reflects a broader push across Andhra Pradesh for stronger employee welfare, transparent incident accountability, and increased hazard prevention. These steps are expected to build community confidence and affirm the civic body’s dedication to protecting its workforce.
