Like Dhaka, the garments factories of Chattogram are going to start today (Sunday). The 'All Knit Garments' were closed from April 25 to April 4 following the direction of the BKMEA. Experts said that the coronavirus could spread like epidemic during April. Fear and panic seize the workers returning to the job.
EPZ clothing worker Jasim said, "I cannot make any decision in the context of the current situation." Life's worth more than money. Owners will open the factory from Sunday. But the minister says if the owners can provide protection to the workers, there is no problem in keeping the garment industry open.
What should we do now? On the one hand, there is a lockdown across the country to protect the countrymen from the corona virus infection. All social activities, including public meetings, are prohibited. Meanwhile, 7,000 workers work in a factory. The transportation crisis is currently underway. Then a terrible situation can occur to the factory after the holidays. How many people will the owner protect? Do you know where the virus spreads through these workers?
Meanwhile, all transport is suspended because of the corona virus. Many workers and employees after traveling different parts of the country are returning to work.
Multiple garment workers said that the situation is going on across the country now there is no shipment in the garment or it does not seem to go. We are dress workers; we will not go to work in the current disaster. If the job is lost, let it be lost.
