UNB, Dhaka :
Ninety-five motorcycles, which will help raise the capacity of government officials to carry out inspections in garment factories, were handed over at a ceremony held in the capital on Sunday.
State Minister for Labour and Employment Mujibul Haque Chunnu received the motorcycles at the CIRDAP compound on behalf of the government.
Department of Inspection for Factories and Establishments (DIFE) will use the motorbikes provided under the ‘Improving Working
Conditions in the Readymade Garment (RMG) Sector Programme’, a government initiative.
The programme, funded by Canada, Kingdom of the Netherlands and the UK government, is being implemented by the International Labour Organization (ILO).
“The motorcycles will make it easier for the Labour Inspectors to carry out their jobs effectively. This equipment, coupled with long-term training and capacity building, will contribute towards greater factory safety and improved condition for workers in Bangladesh,” said Mujibul Haque Chunnu.
