Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority (BEPZA) has paid the arrears of the workers of A-One (BD) Limited, a closed factory of Dhaka EPZ (DEPZ).
The dues payment activities started in a program on Monday organized by DEPZ where Tk 18.11 crore arrears were paid to the workers, said a press release Tuesday .
Arrears of some workers were paid through pay orders in the program. DEPZ Executive Director Abdus Sobhan handed over the pay order to them while the remaining workers’ arrears were deposited to their bank accounts.
The workers were overwhelmed to receive their arrears though it is almost two and half years since the closure of the factory. They thanked BEPZA wholeheartedly for their continuous efforts to settle the dues payment.
Mentionable, the factory management announced the closure of the factory in February 2020 due to lack of export orders and failure to pay the wages of the workers.
