BGMEA to build dorm for workers

Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association will build a dormitory for women workers in the port city of Chittagong.

BGMEA will construct the six-storey dormitory in association with Chittagong Development Authority at a cost of about Tk 35 crore.

The construction of the 16,888-square-foot building, which will accommodate 3,000 garment workers, will be complete in two years, said a BGMEA official.

BGMEA and CDA yesterday signed a deal on the plan at the Chittagong Club.

Nasir Uddin Chowdhury, BGMEA first vice president, chaired the programme where Abdul Mannan Khan, State Minister for the Housing and Public works, was also present as the chief guest.
