Improving working condition of RMG workers

Despite passage of one year of the Rana Plaza tragedy, all the victims and their families are yet to be fully compensated. Many of them have been leading miserable and uncertain lives which they don't deserve. We have a bad tendency of forgetting a tragedy soon after it takes place. Then we catch up with other such incidents.
But Rana Plaza incident will never be forgotten as it is one of the worst industrial disasters of the world. All stakeholders of readymade garments (RMG) sector have already come forward. We only need to bring discipline and transparency in compensation distribution in a short time.
The world has mourned and remembered the poor souls lost on the first anniversary of the Rana Plaza tragedy. The guilty people should get highest punishment so that no one dares to play with the lives of the common people in future. The Rana Plaza incident should be an eye opener for us.
It is good that many steps have been taken already to improve the working condition of RMG workers and there is much scope to improve it further. A safe workplace for the workers is a befitting honour we can pay to the victims of Rana plaza tragedy.
