Industries-Factories Won't Be Operational before Aug 5

Strict lockdown will be continued across the country from 6 am on Friday (July 23) to 12 am midnight on August 5 to prevent coronavirus infection. The factory is closed at this time. Despite the owners' request to keep the factory open, the government has decided not to do so during the lockdown.

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal told reporters after a meeting at the secretariat on Tuesday (July 27th) on the Covid-19 situation.

The Home Minister said many people, including industrialists, have requested the government to decide whether the factory can be opened before August 5. But we can't keep this request.

In a notification issued at noon on July 13, the Cabinet Division said that all kinds of industries would be closed due to the lockdown.
