DHAKA, Aug 16, 2022 (BSS) - The Ministry of Labour and Employment will 
provide Tk 2 lakh to each family of the people who died in the fire at a 
plastic factory at Kamalbagh in old Dhaka's Chakbazar area on Monday.

State Minister for Labour and Employment Begum Mannujan Sufian made the 
announcement in a statement expressing profound shock and sorrow at the death 
of six workers of a restaurant named 'Barishal Hotel'.
