    A ghastly accident and my deepest condolences to her family, especially her poor, bereaved parents.

    I plead with girls and women who have potentially hazardous occupations to wear clothing appropriate to their jobs. Overalls, pants/jeans and a short-sleeved top, or something of that nature are ideally suited to factory settings. To think that suitable clothing could have saved this fine, bright young woman by the simple expedient of preventing an accident! Words escape me.

    We must always work on the surmise that accidents are avoidable, and not succumb to fatalism.

    May her soul rest in peace. May God grant her family the ability to deal with their grief.

    Don't plead with girls of this age please.
    They will 'wear' or 'wear not' what they want!
    In our times it was different...we hardly played 'hide and seek' and all that....
    Now running round trees, discotheques, pubs, clubs,kitty parties, lounge,parks and what have you!
    Who will listen ...?
    Do not plead please. Let them wear or wear not what they want...
    They are very very delicate and sensitive.
    I feel very sorry for the loss of this young beautiful life.What a villain this 'shawl' played here! And poets including me have written romantic poems on this 'shawl' or 'chunari' as it were!

    Yes Lobaam...
    There were times when men used to sport short hair so that they could not be pulled up by 'their hair'by their wives...
    Now it does not matter even if you are bald...Women find ways to 'pull you up' by any means...

    Very unfortunate! May God give strength to withstand this shock!
    A certain safety lapse. It is important to observe safety at work place such as boiler suit, helmet, safety shoes, goggles and so on even if you are a visitor, otherwise watch it from far. Consider safety before it is too late!!

    Indeed a sad incidence,but this is a lesson for every industry that minimum safety to be provided for human. any cutting machine ,press machine safety factor is most important ,i think it is negligence from the machine manufacturer rather than user.how the machine is passed many certificates without the safety?
