It has been claimed that the government has allowed the Accord to continue its operations even after May next year. The Accord will handover responsibility to the government's government to achieve inspection, renovation and ensure workers' safety. However, the government said that after the current term, the alliance's tenure could be extended by six months with the conditions.

It will take some time for that. Since that thought, the approval of the Accord has been approved for six months. '
Roy Ramesh Chandra, the Accord Steering Committee member, said in the first light, there is no scope to be dependent on anyone outside of life. If the government works sincerely, the ability to work in accordance with the Accord's workbook does not matter. Owners must be respectful to the law. At the same time, there should be a constructive and constructive role without showing the negative attitude of the United States with the workers' movement.
