During working hours, a local worker in our organization asked to hire his cousin, who is the son of the Sarpanch of the same village. I asked him to go to HR and discuss the matter. However, HR refused to hire him based on qualifications.

On the same day, as I was returning home from the factory, some local villagers, along with the aforementioned local employee, attacked me, resulting in a critical head injury. I requested a transfer to another unit from management, but my request was denied.

I am seeking advice as I have no other options to work in a different unit or to leave the job. Thank you in advance for your help and support.

This is a police case. Put up the whole matter in writing to HOD HR, Dept HOD, and file a complaint with the civil police. Specifically mention the name of the candidate and that he is the son of the Sarpanch, etc.

Dear Friend,

You have not mentioned your designation. What was the motive behind the attack? What was the reaction of your management to this attack? Your management should file a complaint at the police station based on your incident report to them. Filing an individual complaint may not be very useful. It appears this was an accident while on duty, warranting treatment expenses to be paid by your management.

Why are you seeking a transfer? This incident should not be blown out of proportion. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I fully agree with the view of Mr. Srinath. You must report this to your management, and it is the duty of management to register a police case against the culprits. It is the responsibility of the organization to intervene if any incident takes place which is directly related to the affairs of the organization.

It is a serious matter. Your company's management should take up this issue with local authorities, the Industrial Corporation, the labor office, and of course, the police. There may be many locals working in the factory who would support the reason that the factories in the region provide employment to many. Please seek help from management to take action towards a permanent solution for problems of this nature.

Formerly, a business considered that the maximisation of profit for the owner should be the sole objective of the business. But, today a businessman cannot strictly adhere to the only one objective of earning maximum profit for himself.
No doubt, profits should be earned by the business firm for its survival and growth. However business earns profit with the help of society and if the business has no consideration or concern for society , the very existence of the business may be threatened.
Realisation on the part of businessmen that they cannot survive for long if they do not act in a responsible manner, to their social obligations is a must. The typical example is what we are seeing in M/s.Sterlite factory.
New business organization in newly established Industrial areas , now perceive that, they are comfortable in Industrial area, or their owned plots, and can concentrate only on business only and tend to think on maximise profit only, without any consideration for the interests of consumers, society and employees, on the basis of ‘Cost Reduction’. Thus, it may try to exploit society. Business earns profit with the help of society only.
It is high time, the Employers should now realise the fact ,( which should be on high priority) , that the workers from the society, should not be treated as herds of sheep and cattle to be hired and fired at, should initiate / action plans, preference, similar to production target, towards welfare of the society around, and its dependents also..
