Labour and Employment Minister Ariful Haque Chowdhury has announced financial assistance for the victims of the recent fire at a gaslight factory in Kadamtali, Keraniganj. Each family of the deceased will receive 200,000 taka, while injured workers will get up to 100,000 taka for medical treatment. The minister visited the burnt factory site on Saturday, expressed condolences to the victims’ families, and later met with injured workers at the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery.
During his visit, Chowdhury instructed hospital authorities to ensure proper treatment for the injured and assured full government support. He also declared a special fund under the Bangladesh Workers Welfare Foundation to provide the announced assistance. To determine the cause of the fire and identify those responsible, he ordered the formation of a five-member investigation committee led by a joint secretary of his ministry.
The committee has been directed to submit a detailed report within five working days, while the Dhaka district commissioner has been asked to provide a separate report on the incident.
