Rampaging garment workers

We remain puzzled as to why a section of garment factory workers keep looking for excuses to take law in their hands. They do so mostly in the name of avenging themselves on some grievances but in the process they resort to wholesale lawlessness and violence. This is a dangerous trend and this has to be stopped at any cost.

Such acts of violence have a demonstration effect inducing others to imitate. We feel it is time the factory owners gave a serious thought to using the services of psychological counsellors to get to the bottom of the minds of the workers. Such services are regular features in the factories in developed countries and we are sure, once introduced, these would bring desired results.

Notwithstanding their grievances, the workers cannot go on creating a situation of anarchy in the industrial belts and on the roads, thereby affecting the lives and property of others. They need to be told that by doing so they only help remove the focus from the main issue of punishing the real perpetrators of accident.
