Former Chief Minister and YSRCP chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy has said that he will, if necessary, will stage a dharna on behalf of the workers in case compensation is not paid in time to the victims of the fire accident at Atchutapuram SEZ.
Addressing the media at Anakapalle on 23 August, the former Chief Minister described the incident as unfortunate. Negligence on the part of the government was clear as it stopped implementation of the orders issued by the previous government which made available the services and audits of the third parties based on the reports submitted by the companies, he pointed out.
