India says it will rehabilitate the Savar survivors who have lost their limbs using ‘world renowned expertise’ available in the country.
According to the Indian High Commission in Dhaka, the government would “sponsor, facilitate and arrange for the rehabilitation of those victims.”
They expressed their ‘deep regret and condolence’ over the April 24 nine-story building collapse that killed more than 650, mostly garment workers.
More than 1000 have been injured with scores losing legs and hands.
The High Commission media release says India will work ‘closely’ with Bangladesh’s authorities “to finalise the modalities by which expert assistance from India could be provided to the Savar victims in need of artificial limbs”.
