The news that the death toll in the Ammonia gas tragedy in a pvt company in Thiruvallur has increased to 17 is deeply disturbing. All the deceased are women and were migrant guest workers from North India.

The TN government has given Compensation of Rs. 2 lakh to the next of kin of the deceased. How is this sufficient & justified? Odisha government has given Rs. 10 Lakh as compensation to the victim. The Odisha government also facilitated the return of those migrant guest workers who were discharged after the treatment. While the State Govt arranged safe passage of the deceased, how did the State administration forget the plight of those who were discharged from hospitals, waiting to return home?

The tragic loss of lives in the Ammonia gas tragedy in the private export firm in Thiruvallur also raises a lot of questions;

1)The first & foremost being the absence of the implementation of the 1979 Inter-State Migrant Workmen Act. Principal employers of establishments that employ five or more inter-state migrant workers must be registered under the Act. However, this accident and many earlier incidents have only shown that this Act is not implemented in Tamil Nadu and that no registry is being maintained.

Whenever a crime happens that involves a migrant guest worker from North India, a bunch of innocent migrant guest workers from North India are rounded up for enquiry, as there are no ways and means for the Police Department to narrow it down due to lack of registry.

However, after we pointed it out recently, we understand that the TVK Govt has begun enforcing this Act, at least in parts, if not in full. We trust that the State Govt takes the recent accidents/incidents seriously and enforces the availability of the register of migrant guest workers across all districts. TN State Govt could draw inspiration from the Athidhi app developed by Kerala for registering migrant guest workers and to ensure their welfare.

Even in the Thiruvallur ammonia gas tragedy, it was learnt that there was difficulty in establishing the actual identity of one of the deceased women, who carried a forged Aadhaar card to secure employment. This shows the inefficiency of the functioning of the inter-state migrant workers portal launched by TN Govt in 2023.

2)The welfare board for migrant guest workers is basically non-existent and needs to be established, strengthened and should be used to address the concerns of the migrant guest workers.

Tamil Nadu has today fallen below the replacement level, with a fertility rate of 1.3. To build the State’s infrastructure and work in industrial & commercial establishments across the State, we depend on the hard work of our migrant guest workers. Hence, it is important that we focus on their state of living, as most of the migrant guest workers are compelled to live in appalling conditions and have no place to complain, and their voices are never heard.

3)It is not just the duty of the welfare board but also the duty of the Department of Industrial Safety & Health (DISH) of the state government of Tamil Nadu. Even after a catastrophe that led to the death of 17 workers due to an ammonia gas leak, there seems to be no accountability taken by this department. It is time for “Transparency”. DISH should have made public their most recent inspection of this factory and any observations they made.

The factory in which these migrant guest workers suffered had accommodations within the place of work, surrounded by hazardous pipelines. How was this even allowed?

I demand that appropriate compensation be disbursed to the victims, that the 1979 Inter-State Migrant Workmen Act be enforced in both letter & spirit, and that transparency be brought by the Ministry of Labour of the TN State Govt on the functioning of the DISH & they also be made accountable, including the owners of the establishment, for deliberately ignoring the hazardous living conditions of the migrant guest workers.

On the auspicious occasion of Thiruvalluvar Jayanti Vaikasi Anusham, the Nation pays its deep reverence to Thiruvalluvar, the great Tamil saint-poet of the Bharatiya Sanatan tradition. Thiruvalluvar’s Thirukkural stands as an eternal confluence of Dharma and Niti, guiding righteous living, ethical governance, and the values that shape both individual conduct and collective life. His teachings continue to guide humanity, shaping the spiritual evolution of Bharat with global resonance.

I hear a lot of people saying Vijay is a new CM and he needs time to understand and learn. When Annadurai took oath in 1967, he was a brand new CM too. So were Karunanidhi, MGR and Jayalalithaa. Did anyone give them 6 months to learn? They hit the ground running. Because they had good advisors who understood governance. The current CM's advisors know zilch about politics, let alone about governance. I'm really worried for my state.
