  • Discriminatory Treatment of Accident Victims
    Discriminatory Treatment of Pravin Bihari Sharan* Accident Victims The subject of this brief article is the discrimination caused by different amounts of compensation in case of accidental death or injury under different existing rules applied to different types of accidents, and, non-existence of specific laws for many other types of accidents like fire. This paper makes out a case for one single law applicable for all kinds of accidents which brings the best practices in computation of compensation and delivery of justice so that the victims of all types of accidents are enabled to rebuild the lives of victims as fast as possible. Keywords: Accident victims, Accident compensation, Tort Law, Fire, MACT, Discrimination Accidents keep happening. Motor accidents are very common, no doubt; but accidents not involving motor vehicles are also not that uncommon. Accidents like fire, building or bridge collapse, stampede, boat capsize, gas leak, industrial accidents, electrocution, etc., too affect thousands every year. It is not easy to forget some of the very tragic accidents from the recent past. • Sixteen people died and nine injured in a five-storey building collapse in Raigad, Maharashtra, on 24th August 2020[1]. • Eleven workmen died inside their workplace in Visakhapatnam when a massive crane crumbled and crashed on to the ground on 1st August 2020[2]. • Eleven persons died and about 1000 got injuries in a gas leak accident in Visakhapatnam on 7th May 2020[3]. • Punjab witnessed a dastardly hooch tragedy which claimed 133 lives in the last week of July 2020[4]. • Sixteen tired migrant workers, sleeping on the railway track, got crushed and killed by a speeding goods train near Aurangabad, Maharashtra on 7th May 2020[5].

  • Stampede at the Kumbh Mela: Preventable Accident? 2017
    Susan R. Holman Satchit Balsari Stampede at the Kumbh Mela: Preventable Accident? 2017 Early in January 2013, pilgrims began to gather in the dry sands about three miles beyond the city center of Allahabad, India, to attend the Kumbh Mela, an ancient Hindu religious ritual and festival that draws millions of devout pilgrims for spiritual purification. The festival takes place every 12 years at a holy and auspicious location where the Ganges, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers meet. Government officials, administrators, and hired workers had spent months preparing, and the site now stretched to the horizon, with hundreds of multi-colored tents, electrical poles and utilities, bridges, and new roads (see Figure 1). From an adjacent hillside bluff, visitors could look down and see the blue and yellow waters of the Ganges and Yamuna meeting in turbulence at the sangam, the most sacred convergence of land and water for bathing, just east of an ancient fort. The entire stretch of sand and rivers—under water most of the year until the annual dry season exposed it anew each winter—had special meaning in Hindu religious belief and practice. Here, it was said, “Mother Ganga” offered purification to all who bathed in her waters during the 55-day festival. Religious leaders, pilgrims, tourists, celebrities, and village laborers would be converging on this small strip of land from around the world and across India to take a holy “dip” in the river and perform religious rituals. As many as 100 million visitors were expected in 2013. On the most holy day of all, which fell on February 10 this year, officials predicted as many as twenty to thirty million people would bathe.1 An event that public health experts called a “mass gathering” due to its high volume and dense crowds, the Kumbh Mela was a festival that Indians regarded with reverence and national pride.

    MP3-DM-19 DISASTER MANAGEMENT TOPICS Introduction to Disaster Management Institutional Framework on Disaster Management International Cooperation on Disaster Management India’s Vulnerability to Several Disasters Contemporary Issues on Disaster Management DISASTER MANAGEMENT CHAPTER 2 INDIA’S VULNERABILITY TO SEVERAL DISASTERS India has been vulnerable, in varying degrees, to a large number of natural, as well as, human-made disasters on account of its unique geo-climatic and socio-economic conditions. It is highly vulnerable to fl oods, droughts, cyclones, earthquakes, landslides, avalanches and forest fi res. Over the past decade, the number of natural and manmade disasters has climbed inexorably. Out of 35 states and union territories in the country, 27 of them are disaster prone. According to the statistics, 68% of India’s land is prone to drought, 60% to earthquakes, 55 per cent of total area is in seismic zones III-V, hence vulnerable to earthquakes, 12% to fl oods and 8% to cyclones, Sub-Himalayan sector and Western Ghats are vulnerable to landslides, close to 5,700 kms, out of the 7,516 kms long coastline is prone to cyclones and tsunamis. Vulnerability profile of India India is one of the ten worst disaster prone countries of the world. The country is prone to disasters due to number of factors; both natural and human induced, including adverse geo climatic conditions, topographic features, environmental degradation, population growth, urbanisation, industrialization, non-scientifi c development practices etc. The factors either in original or by accelerating the intensity and frequency of disasters are responsible for heavy toll of human lives and disrupting the life supporting system in the country.

  • Forgotten Voices the World of Urban Children in India
    Forgotten voices The world of urban children in India www.pwc.in Preface “...in serving the best interests of children, we serve the best interests of all humanity.” - Carol Bellamy, Former Executive Director, UNICEF In recent years, India has captured the attention of the global community for its promising and steady economic growth coupled with a high proportion of young population. Urbanisation holds key if the country has to emerge as the next superpower. With 37% of future adults in the country, of whom, 120 million will be living in urban spaces, mainly in slums, on and off the streets as well as in shelters, this number will only grow and is estimated to reach around 180 million by 2030. For the urban deprived children, access to basic services such as clean water, toilets, decent education is a daily struggle. Lack of legal identity forces them to stay out of schools and deprives them of basic facilities such as health centres, proper nutrition and right to play among others. Insufficient protection measures make them vulnerable to all kinds of harassment and abuses, often inflicted by adults. Girls especially fall prey to archaic beliefs, forcing them to abandon their studies, stay restricted within the confines of their homes and subject themselves to physical exploitation, while spending their entire life fulfilling gender-specific duties. In all, for these children, one form of deprivation leads to another. It is time that we hear their side of the story. While looking at children as a demographic factor, we need to specifically strive to address the needs of millions of such children.
