Rana Plaza tragedy: After 9 years, has workers’ safety been ensured?

How much could actually be achieved in these 9 years? Are the industries providing the workers with a safe and reasonable working condition? And what about the victims of the tragedy? Have they received justice and proper compensation?

In Straight from Star Newsroom, Ahsan Habib discusses the aftermath of the Rana Plaza tragedy and the present condition of workers in the country with The Daily Star Reporter Refayet Ullah Mirdha.
