Dhaka: Bangladesh has resumed the trial in the collapse of a garment factory building that killed more than 1,100 people after more than five years of legal complications, a court official said on Wednesday.
Prosecutor Bimal Samaddar said a judge on Monday ordered the recommencement of the trial for 38 out of 41 people charged initially for the deaths in the collapse of Rana Plaza building on April 24, 2013, at Savar on the outskirts of Dhaka.
The court fixed February 16 for examining the witnesses, Samaddar said. A Dhaka court in June 2016 indicted 41 people, including the building owner Sohel Rana, his parents and factory executives for murder as they compelled the employees to work inside the factory despite knowing that it was unsafe.
