Srinagar: The Assistant Labour Commissioner’s court in Srinagar has issued an order directing Khyber Industries Limited to provide compensation exceeding Rs 10 lakh to the family of a Nepali worker who lost his life in an accident.
The court order said that Amar Bahadur Thapa, an employee in the Crusher Division of Khyber Industries sustained severe injuries while carrying out his duties at the company and, regrettably, succumbed to his injuries in August this year.
The order said that the untimely demise of Amar Bahadur Thapa occurred during the course of his employment with Khyber Industries, thus thrusting the “eligibility of his dependents for compensation.”
It further specifies that “a compensation amount of Rs 10,09,232 has been calculated by the court, taking into account the age of the deceased worker and other pertinent factors related to the case.”
The Chief Manager of Khyber Industries Private Limited has been directed by the court to fulfill this compensation requirement within a stipulated timeframe of 15 days.
