Ban on gaman india ltd
Construction company Gammon India now faces a possible two-year ban after the company was issued a showcause notice over the Delhi Metro accident in which six workers lost their lives. A three-member probe panel was appointed to look into the July 12 accident at a Delhi Metro construction site.Gammon told NDTV that it will look at going to court only after examining the showcause notice.
The Metro designers, Arch Consultants, have been blacklisted for five years.
The Delhi High Court on Friday had also sought a response from Gammon India, a contractor in Delhi Metro Rail project, and DMRC on a petition filed by the family of victims of the July 12 incident, when an under-construction bridge had collapsed in South Delhi.
The victim's family pleaded before Justice Rewa Khetrapal that the infrastructure company and DMRC failed to take appropriate safety measures which caused the accident in which six construction workers lost their life and 19 were injured.

INDEPENDENCE DAY
Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we will redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance .... We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again."
- Jawaharlal Nehru (Speech on Indian Independence Day, 1947).
The day when India woke up to freedom back in 1947 was a day of great celebration. A country got rid of her foreign yoke and became a sovereign nation, she celebrated her sovereignty on this day - the triumph of numerous martyred souls. It was a day of fulfillment, it was the day of a new beginning, a birth of a nation.On the stroke of midnight, a country came into life again as the british handed over the governance of India to the Indian leaders.The long and difficult struggle had borne fruit at last, though the happiness was marred by the fact that the country was divided into India and Pakistan and the violent communal riots had left the countries permanently scarred.
That was the price that India paid for her dearly bought freedom. The british government declared the country independent and left for their own shores. On the 15th of August, 1947, India became completely independent. It was on this historic date that Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime Minister of India, unfurled the Indian tricolor on the ramparts the magnificent Red Fort, symbolically marking the end of the british colonial rule.
