Foxlink, the cable supplier to technology giant Apple Inc, has declared a 30-day holiday for its employees, following the fire accident at its Tirupati factory. Production at the factory is likely to be hit as the company has declared holiday for a month to around 1,600 workers and directed them to return to their respective hometowns.
A. Ramachandra, the Renigunta deputy superintendent of police (DSP), who is monitoring the situation at the plant indicated that 30 days may not be enough.
The contract manufacturer is yet to lodge any complaint, even as officials from the state factories and labour departments, along with insurance company representatives have started visiting the plant to estimate the quantum of loss.
"It takes time to estimate the loss as bills are verified and cross checked to arrive at a figure. It will take time to go through this exercise, it may take 10 - 15 days," the DSP observed, explaining why it may take longer to file the FIR.
