During the holiday period, three police vehicles will patrol 24 hours a day across the GIDC to prevent incidents of theft or vandalism, supported by Sachin Notified Security staff.

Safety first: preventive measures for industries

Mayur Golwala, Secretary of Sachin Industrial Association, emphasized the importance of preventive safety steps, stating, “Every industrialist should switch off the capacitors of their units before the holidays to prevent power wastage and possible fire accidents. Safety cannot be an afterthought—it must be our first priority.”
