Minister blames plant inferno on Banten

Inferno means neraka


Manpower Minister Hanif Dhakiri said on Sunday that the Banten provincial administration
should be held accountable for the poor monitoring that led to a deadly blast in a fireworks
factory in Kosambi, Tangerang.
Hanif said the factory, operated by PT Panca Buana Cahaya Sukses, had failed to implement
protective measures for its workers despite storing and producing flammable materials.
