Yet Another Disappointment

1) Officer-in-charge of Ashulia Police Station talks to the surviving workers of Tazreen Fashions Ltd who arrived at Nischintapur Non-Government Primary School premises in Ashulia yesterday demanding their salary for three months and 13 days. 2) A sign outside the garment factory reads that workers' salary for the month of November would be paid on 1/12/2012, which was yesterday. However, no salary was paid. 3) Some workers fall down as the crowd tries to break a police barricade on hearing that they would not be paid. 4) Alelul Begum, injured in a deadly fire in the factory on November 24 which claimed 111 lives, leaves the premises on a rickshaw-van after being denied her salary. 5) Workers crowd around an official of the factory to confirm their names on the list of workers to be paid.
6) Attendance of children at the primary school has remained sparse following the fire. Photo: Anisur Rahman
