Introduction with present status

We need not wait for nuclear war or a series of RDX blasts to convert Delhi, the heart of the country, into a heap of waste and dust. A few industrial accidents, as have been witnessed in the recent past, in the dingy, unmanned and illegal colonies of the city, housing innumerable illegal and dangerous factories, are enough to create havoc. (See table 1.1a) Whereas people continue to suffer, the government is still to wake up and realise that industrial accident is a grave issue and needs to be looked into with immediate action. “For government, at present issues like family planning, immunisations are of more importance than industrial safety. That’s why there is not even a Central Registry System to register industrial accidents in the country. Until government does not think it to be a serious issue, nothing major can be achieved,” says Dr S B Lall, Additional Professor, National Poison Information Centre (NPIC), All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi.1

What areas are under threat? Major accidents

Industries in Delhi are not concentrated in one area but spread to almost all parts of it. Be it north Delhi or south, both large scale and small-scale industries have spread their tentacles in almost all the areas. Some areas where they are concentrated are the Okhla Industrial Area in South Delhi, Walled City in North Delhi, Mayapuri in West Delhi, Jwalapuri in East Delhi, Jhilmil Industrial Area in East Delhi, and so on. The list seems never ending. Most of the units in these areas are illegally set up and run with maximum risk. Often there is an explosion or fire that for the time being stirs people, but then again falls back in its deep slumber. This spread of factories is all the more reason for concern because monitoring becomes difficult if industries are spread over large distances and are not registered.

Why this rise in accidents?

The situation as witnessed in Kotla and the fear as expressed by Narendra Nagpal is not
imaginative. Most of the industrial accidents in Delhi play havoc because they occur in areas, which
are residential areas and have illegal units running in them. There is no monitoring of such units
and they keep on mushrooming posing a threat to human life. Since these units are scattered from
old Delhi to areas such as Mayapuri, Seemapuri, Daya Basti, it becomes necessary to put a tab on
these ever-growing units and control their future growth.
