Summary The unusual step has been taken as the plaster of the decrepit office continues to peel off the ceil
BIHAR (Daily Dunya) - In an astounding move, employees in India’s Bihar district wear helmet at their workplace due to the dilapidated condition of the building.
The unusual step has been taken as the plaster of the decrepit office continues to peel off the ceiling and fall on the heads of the employees, risking their lives.
“Even the block development officer (BDO) has been forced to wear a helmet. The building construction department has already declared the structure ‘unfit’, but no effort has been made to undertake repairs,” said Manoj Paswan, a village representative as reported by Hindustan Times.
Ranjit Singh, a staff at the BDO’s office, said: “Many employees have reportedly sustained injuries due to falling of plaster from the ceiling. The situation has aggravated due to rains. The entire building also leaks, compromising the safety of office equipment, records, especially computers,” he said.
BDO Amit Kumar Pandey says that they have complaint of the situation to the senior officers but no step has been taken yet.
