27,000 Beximco workers dues will be settled before Ramadan: Adviser Sakhawat

The government has assured that all outstanding dues of Beximco Industrial Parks workers will be cleared within February, ahead of the upcoming Ramadan, according to Labor and Employment Adviser Brigadier General (retd) M. Sakhawat Hossain.
Speaking to reporters after a meeting on the current situation of Beximco industries at the Secretariat on Wednesday, Sakhawat Hossain confirmed that financial arrangements are being finalized to settle payments.
“Workers of Beximco Apparel were initially laid off and it was later shut down. We had assured that all outstanding dues from the closure would be paid within this month. The necessary financial arrangements are being made,” he said.
He added that a newly appointed administrator is currently calculating the exact amount due. A follow-up meeting is scheduled for February 18, which is expected to be the final discussion on the matter.
