India: A worker has died after being electrocuted at the Ghanauli cement plant in Uttar Pradesh. Prem Pal, was working on a piece of equipment at the plant owned by Ambuja Cements, according to local police. Following the incident, other workers at the plant staged an immediate strike. They also demanded that US$37,500 be paid to Pal's family by way of compensation and stated their dissatisfaction with company vice president Rajesh Sondhi, who they claim has presided over a period of poor health and safety management at the plant.

In response, company civil engineer Ajay Vashisht said the machine on which Prem Pal had been working was 'not faulty.' He added that it had been sent for examination. It is not clear whether the company has acted or will act on the demands of the strikers.
