    How these people live and die- it’s horrific. I am ashamed to admit that sometimes I feel sorry for myself when I think my life is hard. These people do slave labour and their lives are worthless. Hardly anyone has read this article even though it is posted 45 mins ago. And only 1 comment. That says it all don’t you think? Bet nobody will be held accountable for this.

    @Annette Hunter: What about this guy?

    The building’s owner, Rihan, who goes by one name, was detained on suspicion of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, Mr Mittal said.

    @Annette Hunter: I’d say people are trying to comment but their comments like mine were perceived as toxic so wasn’t posted.

    It’s a horrible place, no value on life. That other story about that poor girl who was raped and on way to court to testify she was burnt, animals.

    Why do we remain complicent to these deaths? Shop for bargains, but check the country of origin tags.

    Detaining the building owner is not enough. Brands hiring places like this, with no regard for human life, only to increase their margin profits must be held accountable. Supporting modern slavery is NOT ok, and companies who do need to be exposed.

    @Angela Godfrey Maher: there is a solution much closer to the site. Where are the regulations and enforcement orders in new Delhi? Surely if this type of thing is not illegal then it should be. If it is, why wasnt this place closed down? A govt’s first job is to protect its people. That isn’t Penney’s job or any other retailer buying clothes.

    @lambda sensor: yes it is. All clothing sellers need to source products that are ethical. It’s a duty of care.
