PCB order to close public sector manufacturer

A news item mentions about order of state pollution control board asking to close a public sector pesticide manufacturing facility for violating environment protection rules. Such closures involving public sectors are rare and this implies that private sector facilities should be more careful in their operations. One should not take things for granted and keep violating norms.
It is common to read/see reports of demolishing buildings for violating rules/not taking permission. Instead of penalising, total closure/demolition exhibit the determination of concerned authorities and alert other violators to put their house in order before they become targets.
Nobody is above law, let it be anybody.

Fall of woman from balcony

A news item mentions about fall of woman from balcony and succumbing to injuries. Most of the builders construct balconies of height about (3 1/2 ft) which appear to be dangerous for tall persons. Though children and medium height persons (about 5 ft) may not be in danger, but taller persons when they lean on to the balcony of this height are likely to loose balance and fall.

Nearmiss - my experience during rain and heavy wind

Last week I was on pilgrimage tour along with friends on a rented car. When we were nearing a temple town, there was heavy rain with winds. As we approached the temple, our driver stopped the car about 15 m away from a temporary structure made for temple function. Within 2 minutes, we saw the entire structure falling down on a car near, due to heavy winds. The occupants of the car ran away. Though, there was no damage, but it is an experience and we were saved by our driver's timely action.
We always tell workers at height not to work during rains/winds, but if people see the incident, I think, then only they will understand the meaning in it.
