DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — The Bangladesh government says it will give 200,000 takas ($2,500) to the families of those who died in a garment factory fire last week and 50,000 takas ($625) to those who were injured.

An aide to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Mahbubul Hoque Shakil, told The Associated Press on Saturday of the new offer of compensation. The garment industry had earlier promised to pay the families of the victims a monthly salary for at least 10 years.
