List of missing workers sought
Speakers at a rally yesterday demanded that the government publishes the real list of the victim workers who remain missing after a devastating fire at Tazreen Fashions Ltd on November 24.
They also demanded that the government ensures compensation of Tk 20 lakh to each family of the dead in the incident.
The government should implement existing laws properly to prevent this kind of fire incidents in the country's garment factories, they said.
Citizen Rights Movement (CRM) organised the rally near BGMEA building in the capital.
CRM Secretary General Tushar Rehman alleged that an anti-liberation and development group in and outside the country is active to destroy garments and other industries of the country.
Green Club of Bangladesh General Secretary Ashish Kumar Dey at the rally said the BGMEA building was constructed without permission from Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk) and it violated wetland protection law.
Corruption, land grabbing and irregularities will be recognised by the state, if the Hatirjheel-Begunbari Khal Project is inaugurated without demolishing the 15-storey BGMEA building in the middle of the Hatirjheel.
Initiative for Peace Chairman Shofikur Rahman and Secretary General Ifma Hussain also spoke.
