Rana Plaza survivors leading miserable life: BNP

Claiming that most of the workers who survived the Rana Plaza disaster are leading a jobless miserable life, BNP on Thursday demanded their immediate employment. “Over 70 per cent of the workers, who were injured and crippled or survived the Rana Plaza incident, are leading a jobless-life. We urge the government and BGMEA to generate employment for them,” said BNP standing committee member Rafiqul Islam Miah. Addressing a human chain programme, he also demanded exemplary punishment of those responsible for the country’s deadliest tragedy. Jatiyatabadi Karmajibi Dal arranged the programme in front of the Jatiya Press Club, marking the 1st anniversary of the disaster that claimed over 1135 lives and injured at least 2,000 workers, according to a news agency.
