Amazon under fire in India: Unsafe warehouse, unrealistic targets exposed

E-commerce giant Amazon is in legal trouble over alleged breach of labour laws after inspection at one of its major warehouses in Manesar, near New Delhi, revealed safety violations, improper record-keeping, and failure to comply with mandatory regulations to protect workers, according to a report in Al Jazeera.

The labour inspection was carried out earlier this year, following a series of complaints and an incident in May, where workers at the Manesar facility in Gurugram, Haryana, were reportedly pressured to forgo breaks in order to meet performance targets.
