Guwahati: A woman who had suffered serious injuries at a Namrup stone quarry site on December 11 passed away while receiving treatment at the Assam Medical College and Hospital (AMCH).
Rasmita Tanti has been identified as the woman.
Three women were injured in Namrup of Dibrugarh district after being stuck at a crusher machine. They were admitted to AMCH for medical care.
Anita Harijan and Sunita Tanti have been identified as the other two.
The woman had injuries to her chest and abdomen, but before she passed away on Monday, she was improving, according to the doctor.
“The other two women are out of danger and recovering. They were admitted to the surgery department,” said a doctor.
The All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) asserted that numerous illegal stone-crushing operations have been operating in Dibrugarh without taking appropriate safety precautions.
“We have submitted a memorandum to Dibrugarh Deputy Commissioner and urged him to take necessary steps against such units which are mushrooming in Dibrugarh without any safety measures,” said an AASU member.
