시행된 조치: An FIR was filed by one of the injured workers, and the factory's maintenance manager and another person were arrested for negligence of duty. The injured workers have received only Rs. 1.5 lakhs so far though they are unclear about whether they will receive more and when. The Resource Centre received a response from Hero Motors, General Motors, Flex-N-Gate and Magna. We did not receive any response from Lifelong India, Inteva, Lucas, Exide, India Nippon, Brembo, BorgWarner, Hutchinson, and Nissin. A few companies like Flex-N-Gate and Magna have clarified that they are not Lifelong India's customer and Lifelong India has no permission to represent them as its customer. General Motors stated that it immediately initiated its due diligence process following the incident and intends to work with the supplier until a resolution is achieved, while also requiring independent verification and transparency. In contrast, Hero MotoCorp only provided a general reference to its policy without addressing specific actions taken in response to the incident. Neither Lifelong India nor other brands involved have provided responses regarding their remediation efforts.
