Thousands of factory workers lose their hands or fingers, every year, in crush injuries in the auto-sector manufacturing, mainly as a result of poor safety culture and high productivity pressure. Most of them, working in smaller factories for large auto brands, get little support from management. Their healthcare and compensation from Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESIC), where eligible, is often excessively bureaucratic and late. Many of them return to their villages having lost their fight with the inefficient and unsupportive system.
