The family was supposed to receive 5 lakh taka after death, but received 2 lakh.
Working workers' lives are worth so low? After the death of the government according to the government rules, the family of the deceased worker will get 5 lakh rupees compensation. But in reality they get only 2 lakh taka. The remaining 3 lakh taka is never got. When asked why they do not get this 3 lakh taka? When asked, Bangladesh National Garment Sramik Oikya League President Sirajul Islam Roni said that after the death of a worker, the insurance company will give 2 lakh, the government will give 2 lakh and the owner will give 2 lakh taka.
Even if there is an obligation of insurance, most of the factories do not do this, as a result, the workers do not get the insurance money. The owners also do not give them 1 lakh rupees. After an accident, there will be a day or two discussion, then everything is stopped. As a result, the poison of the workers‘ rights is out of sight. Bangladesh Institute of Labor Studies (BILS) Director Said Sultan Uddin Ahmed is not willing to say.
‘Most of these incidents are ’murders, criminal offences' because the environment in which the workers work in the environment and fire or any other incident is against the law. In that case, the workers are actually killed. If the murders can be proved, the compensation is higher but the owner has not yet been punished."
52 people were killed in the fire of Hashem Food and Bevez factory in Rupganj. If the charges are proved, the maximum punishment for 10 years of the Penal Code for negligent killings will be 10 years, whereas the maximum penalty for murder is death.
There is no provision for the Facer Service to allow the Fatur Service unless there is an emergency option.

This factory has been notified many times. The deputy director of Naratanganj of the Department of Environment, Muhammad Abdullah Al-Mamun, has issued a license for the Fatar Service after receiving the license of the Fatar Service."
