Number of fire cracker units are more in Sivakasi. Almost 800-900 fire cracker units are there in that city. There is no proper systems in these units. They are manufacturing crackers by violating the rules of Govt. Constructing building by violating the law. Owners are appointing more number of people in one building for their own benefit. They are increasing the quantity of chemicals in crackers and appointing more number of labours in one building. 70% of Dalit people are doing this job. They dont have proper PF, ESI, pension. Our party's main request is all fire cracker units should be undertaken by Govt. People should get the benefit by Govt undertaking it. Only then our livehood will improve. Private concerns use us for their benefits. Only when Govt undertakes it, they will use proper amount of chemicals and appoint proper number of people. 70% of Dalit people will improve their livelihood. 9 people have lost their life today. Lakhs of people have lost their life already. None of the family got proper compensation and murder case should be charged on the owner. Our second request is, since it is private concern they are stress free and give 5-6 lakh for the deceased family. they take it for granted. Murder case should be filed on them. Our 3rd request is, contractor should not be left just like that. For the profit of contractor he appoints more people and produces more crackers. There should not be any contractors. Govt should undertake and run it.
