Congress Legislature Party leader Vijay Wadettiwar claimed in the Maharashtra Assembly that government negligence led to the deadly explosion at an explosives manufacturing unit in Raulgaon village, Nagpur district, which killed 19 workers and injured 23 others. He accused both the state and central governments of ignoring repeated requests for safety audits despite 43 deaths in similar blasts over the past 18 months. Wadettiwar demanded a detailed assembly discussion on worker safety and criticised lax actions by regulatory bodies like PESO and the labour department. Assembly Speaker agreed to a discussion by Friday. (PC: PTI)
