DIFE conducts first ever inspection on EPZ factories
The Department of Inspection for Factories and Establishments (DIFE) has inspected factories under the jurisdiction of Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority for the first time.
Inspector General of the DIFE Md Nasir Uddin Ahmed inspected factories from October 14 to October 16, the DIFE said in a press release today.
Ahmed inspected Section Seven International Limited and Mazen (Bangladesh) Industries Limited on October 14 and Deshbandhu Textile Mills Limited and Ventura Leatherware MFY (BD) Limited on October 16 situated inside Uttara Export Processing Zone (EPZ) at Saidpur in Nilphamari.
During the visit, Ahmed exchanged views with the managing authorities of the factories and visited EPZ's medical centres, security barracks, school and college.
In 1983, the EPZ started its operation for the first time in Bangladesh. Since then, it has not been possible to inspect EPZ-listed factories officially through the DIFE.
