Ship-breaking Workers Trade Union Forum yesterday demanded Tk 10 lakh in
compensation for each of the eight victim families which either had lost or got
their members injured in a gas cylinder explosion at Shital Enterprise
Ship-breaking yard on September 5.
At a press conference in Chittagong city, Convener of the forum Tapan
Dutta mentioned that four workers died, one is still fighting for life in a
hospital while the other three were brought back to the shed from hospitals
without full treatment.
The owner paid a nominal amount only to the families
of the dead, said the convener, threatening to wage tougher movement if the
compensations are not paid to the eight families in next seven days.
