Arrow Apparels dropped from list of flawed factories

The Alliance surveying Bangladesh's garment-industry situation recently dropped the name of Arrow Apparels Ltd along with another factory, Odessa Fashions, from its list of eight units having structural flaws.

Although the North American initiative in its initial findings had found structural flaws in both the factories, along with six others, and sent its list to the review panel, later it exonerated Arrow Apparels and Odessa Fashions, sources said.

Both the Alliance Managing Director and the Inspector-General of the Department of Inspection for Factories and Establishments confirmed developments.  Besides, the Arrow Apparels Ltd in a statement, issued by its Managing Director Kawsar Hossain Chowdhury, said that the name of his factory "has been dropped from the Alliance's list".
