Since the disaster, the state has had an equally poor record in siding with the interests of the private sector and a local comprador class over the victim-population. It is well known that Rana plaza’s collapse was a manmade disaster, one which the corporate world, and particularly garment industry and it local allies, were highly culpable. The private sector had a responsibility to provide adequate compensation to the victims, a responsibility the state wholly failed to enforce. Aside some support government-support to severely injured victims, for example to those who lost limbs in the disaster, there has thus far been no compensation paid out.
