DHAKA, July 11, 2021 (BSS) – Textiles and Jute Minister Golam Dastagir Gazi today demanded compensation for the victims of Narayanganj factory fire.

He came up with the demand while a delegation of the ruling Awami League visited the fire spot at Rupganj in Narayanganj, a press release said.

The workers keep the pace of the country’s economy smooth, the minister said, adding that the district administration has already stood by the fire victims.
