Abstract

The article focuses on a tragic fire in a garment factory and adjacent chemical warehouse in Dhaka's Mirpur district, which resulted in at least 16 confirmed deaths and raised significant safety concerns in Bangladesh's textile industry. The fire, exacerbated by a locked rooftop door that trapped workers, has prompted an investigation into the legality of the chemical warehouse's operations, as it reportedly lacked necessary safety clearances. This incident highlights ongoing issues within the garment sector, which employs around four million workers and is crucial to the country's economy, as labor advocates point out persistent enforcement gaps in safety regulations despite previous improvements following past disasters like the Rana Plaza collapse in 2013.
