Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) has emphasised in a statement that all its terminals strictly adhere to the prescribed operational procedures and established safety protocols.

JNPA deeply regrets the unfortunate incident and extends its heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family. The injured person was given treatment at the JNPA Hospital and has been discharged. JNPA is extending all necessary support to those affected. A detailed investigation, including a comprehensive root cause analysis, has been initiated, the statement informed.
