The calls were placed on the second anniversary of Rana Plaza collapse, world’s worst workplace disaster, that killed over 1,100 people and injured double as many others.

Demonstrators at the site in Savar held protest rallies or human chains demanding punishment of the culprits to blame, including the building owner Sohel Rana.

Programmes began centering the Shaheed Bedi, put up in remembrance of the deadly incident, from around 8:00am today.

Hundreds of people swarmed the place demonstrating or protesting. Demonstrators yielded placards demanding compensation for the victims of Rana Plaza.

Among them, four political organisations Jatiyo Mukti Council, Naya Gonotantrik Gonomorcha, Jatiyo Gonotantrik Gonomancha and Jatiyo Gonofront placed forth a banner urging all to mark Apr 24 as a day garment workers were mass murdered.
