Asserting that workers' safety in mining is paramount and cannot be compromised, President Ram Nath Kovind today said the country needs to move strongly towards 'culture of prevention' from 'culture of reaction'. "Safety of workers in the field of mining is non-negotiable and of absolute importance. Human safety and lives must always come first. They are always the priority. For this we have to move even more strongly to a 'culture of prevention' from a 'culture of reaction'," the president said at the National Safety Awards (Mines) presentation.
