The Kazakh president's influential daughter said her party had drafted a bill to toughen punishment for labor violations in response to a blast that killed 41 workers at a Mittal-owned mine, according to an article published Friday. Lawmaker Dariga Nazarbayeva, Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev's eldest daughter, said that the September explosion at the mine had resulted from neglect of safety rules, and criticized the government for failing to stand up to foreign corporations in the article published in Caravan magazine...The Temirtau steel plant...is supplied by eight mines that employ about 25,000 people and extract about 12 million tons of coal a year. The mines will become part of Arcelor Mittal, a company being formed by the merger of Mittal Steel Co. NV and Arcelor SA.
