More than 111 people were burnt alive in Ashulia fire. Accidents like this often take place but the authorities do not take any measures to prevent it. In Bangladesh, almost everything's price is soaring high. But only the human lives are losing its value. People go to work to earn their living. If their workplaces can not ensure them proper safety, then where will they go?
*******************************
I am very shocked to learn about the death of 111 people in the worst garment factory fire in the country. What a loss! I am worried about the notoriously poor working conditions and little or no enforcement of safety laws in these factories. I request all concerned to take initiatives to solve this problem. Sk. Kamal Hossain, Hatil, Khulna
