The CM's response seems prompt but why do such accidents keep happening? We need permanent solutions - regular safety audits, worker training, and proper emergency protocols. Jai Telangana!

As someone from Hyderabad, I'm shocked this happened in Pashamylaram area which has many chemical factories. Government should relocate these hazardous units away from residential zones. Safety first!

While politicians are quick to tweet condolences, what about compensation? These workers were probably daily wage earners supporting entire families. Govt must ensure lifelong support for dependents.

Working in India's industrial sector remains extremely hazardous. The focus should be on implementing international safety standards rather than just compensation after tragedies. Prevention is key.

Heart goes out to the families 🙏 But let's not make this political. All parties seem concerned right now. What matters is proper rehabilitation for affected workers and strict action against negligent factory owners.
