Authority of Suad Garments Industries Limited which was closed for not being able to run the business for various complications, paid the dues of the workers of its factory recently.

They paid a total of Tk 200 million (Tk 20 crore) to 2,779 workers of the Kuwait-Bangladesh joint venture garment factory against their provident fund and gratuity at the Adamjee Export Processing Zone, says a statement.

It said the payment of the workers' dues was made possible for the relentless efforts of Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority (BEPZA).

The Suad Garments Industries Ltd. has been operating at the Adamjee Export Processing Zone (AEPZ) in the outskirts of the capital since 2014.

Later, production activities were completely closed at the factory following change of its ownership.
