“The survivors of the victim have been adequately compensated for. One dependent will be given a job in the organization. We salute the spirit of Late Mr. Pramod Khosla, who sacrificed his life to save many others from the gas leak in the plant,” the HR leader rambled on.
“Have adequate measures been taken to prevent the recurrence of such a fatal accident?”
“A team is working on that, and the concerned vertical will soon issue a statement.”
“In absence of that perspective, do all these follow-up acts really matter – even to the family of the deceased?”
