During the cheque handover, Minister Ariful Haque Chowdhury said, "The contribution of workers to the country's economic development and industrial growth is undeniable. The government is committed to ensuring the overall welfare and safety of workers. The regular participation of leading companies like Grameenphone in the workers' welfare fund is highly commendable. This is not just respect for the law, but a unique example of responsible corporate behavior. I hope other domestic and foreign organisations will also come forward similarly for the social protection of workers."
