About 400 garment factories in Gazipur on Sunday (April 26) were closed without a decision by BGME. Except for a few, most factories ignored government directives.
Workers have been seen entering and leaving the factory pressing without maintaining social distance. There were masks but no gloves. Speaking to the workers, they are known to have worked inside the factory as before. There were no security measures. As a result, the coronavirus has become more widespread and many people think that Gazipur will be at greater risk.
On condition of anonymity, several MM Knitwear operators in the Konabari industrial area of Gazipur City Corporation said they had been asked to join the job via text message. Otherwise, the layoffs have been threatened. If they are cut, they will have to die without eating with their family. And if you work, there is a risk of dying from the crown. That means risk even if you work, risk even if you don’t. Then they were forced to join the job.
Operators also said they have made their own masks for safety. Manual spraying only from the factory upon entering the factory. Also, there are no other security measures.
The search revealed that most of the factories that launched yesterday violated health and social distance guidelines.
Gazipur Industrial Police Superintendent Sushant Sarkar said around 450 garment factories had been established as of noon Sunday. Each factory authority has been asked to maintain a social distance between workers and employees and to operate the factory in accordance with health safety guidelines. District administration will see if the instructions are being implemented or not.
Gazipur’s Civil Surgeon Dr. asked if the risk increased due to the launch of a clothing factory in closing. Khairuzzaman said any gathering, not just clothing, is at risk for coronavirus infection. He urged factory owners to manage the factory through worker safety during these periods.
Gazipur Deputy Commissioner SM Tariqul Islam told Kaler Kanth that the confinement in Gazipur was not lifted. However, owners have been asked to start the factory following government instructions.
