The Bangladesh government has declared that it would observe the first anniversary of Rana Plaza Tragedy on April 24 of this year.
Permanent Secretary of Ministry of Labour and Employment Mikail Shipar disclosed the plan in a programme organised by Centre for Policy Dialogue in BRAC Inn in the capital on Sunday afternoon.
At least 1,134 people were killed and nearly 2,500 people injured in the tragedy.
On April 24 last year, Rana Plaza, which housed five garment factories, a market and a bank branch, collapsed after factory owners forced several thousand workers to maintain their presence even though the building was marked unsafe the day before, due to cracks which had developed on some pillars and floors.
