Garment owners demand action against vandals

Star Business Report
The garment manufacturers yesterday again demanded immediate punitive action against the hooligans involved in Sunday's factory vandalism inGazipur.
"The government should immediately conduct a serious investigation to identify the real hooligans involved in the garment factory ransacking in Gazipur and Ashulia Sunday last," said BGMEA president Anwar-Ul-Alam Chowdhury Parvez at a hurriedly called press conference in Dhaka yesterday.
Otherwise, the real culprits will set fire on the garment factories again and again, Parvez told a group of journalists after meeting with Labour and Employment Adviser Anwarul Iqbal at his secretariat office.
Quoting the Adviser the
BGMEA chief said the garment manufacturers were instructed by the government to go slow for the greater interest of the sector.
"But, it is true that the administration including the police failed to provide security to the sector people," Parvezsaid.
In their primary investigation Parvez said a section of outsiders damaged some garment factories during the incident.
"If the manufacturers cannot operate their factories properly they would not be able to pay the workers' salary and bonuses in time for the upcoming Eid festival," he said.
At the brief press conference Mizanur Rahman Chowdhury, chairman of Mim Design, a sweater factory at Vogra under Gazipur district, which was set ablaze Sunday,
said the total vandalism was conducted in front of the police, but the members of the law enforcement agency were inactive during the incident.
A disappointed Mizanur Rahman said he was scheduled to make a shipment of sweater item worth US$95 lakh shortly, but the hooligans set ablaze my whole factory Sunday.
"Now, I can hardly say what will I do for running my business," Mizanur Rahman, a young successful RMG businessman was saying at the press conference.
"I cried for help from local police officials including the Superintendent of Police (SP) of Gazipur district, but nobody came to protect my factory from the fire," Mizanur Rahman said.
"I do not think I can start production any time soon in my factory," he said.
