Though for now, no dates have been confirmed yet and R C Bhargava, chairman of Maruti Suzuki commented saying that the safety arrangements need to be at its best before the work begins. He further added that, until the members of the factory feel secure, the factory cannot start manufacturing cars and also that, they will not risk the lives of the people.
