Heatwave Action Coalition (HAC) calls for Urgent Action Against Inhuman Treatment of Amazon India Warehouse Workers amid Extreme Heat, stand in support with Amazon India Workers‘ Association (AIWA) https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSetXAprcZEsmR0DvXfjpKejccSxNTl-0FOTPjlf_SMkteNqRA/viewform  numerous workers at the Amazon India warehouse have been forced to work without access to essential necessities such as water, food, and bathroom breaks. 

Mr. Dharmendra Kumar, convenor of the Amazon India Workers Association, states, "Workers are facing extremely high temperatures in the warehouses, reaching up to 34.2°C in some areas. These severe conditions have compelled workers to unionize to voice their demands. With the heat continuing to escalate and no relief in sight, the health problems among AIWA members are worsening. However, there has been no response or action from either Amazon or the labour ministry."

Sarita Fernandes, Co-convenor of Heatwave Action Coalition states, “Heatwaves are the new norm, heat is not– in northern India. The incident was avoidable if Amazon India had put its people over profits in India. Amazon India needs to respond to its workers' demands and provide accountability of their actions to the workforce and policy officials of India.”

अरुंधति रॉय पर UAPA, शुरू हो गया पुराना खेल https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSkIQFRzl-o Jun 15, 2024
अरुंधति रॉय पर चौदह साल पुराने मामले में UAPA की धारा के तहत केस चलेगा। इतने साल से ध्यान में नहीं आया, लगता है कि अपनी हार से बौखलाई सरकार अब फिर से उन्हीं तरीकों पर आ गई है। NDA के सहयोग से सरकार बनने के बाद भी यह NDA नहीं, मोदी सरकार है, अगर यही बताना था तो NEET के मामले में पारदर्शी होना था न कि लेखकों और पत्रकारों को जेल का रास्ता दिखा कर डराने की चाल चलनी चाहिए थी।
