Dada Match to be reopened soon: Amu

KHULNA, Sept 5 (UNB): Industries Minister Amir Hossain Amu on Friday said Dada Match Factory at the Khulna city's Rupsha industrial belt, which was shut down on August 18, 2010, would be reopened soon.
The Industries Ministry already initiated the legal procedures as per the Prime Minister's pledge to reopen the factory, he said while addressing a meeting organised by the factory's workers on its premises.
