Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the installation of the reactor pressure vessel at the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant via video conference and said the country has now entered a "nuclear era," the outlet reported. "We will join the world's nuclear powers, but for peace," the prime minister said. "This will ensure power generation, which will reach the rural people and elevate their socio-economic condition."Rooppur is located in Ruppur, Bangladesh, about 100 miles from the country's capital of Dhaka. In December 2015, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/r-bangladesh-signs-1265-billion-deal-with-russia-for-nuclear-power-plants-2015-12">Bangladesh signed a deal with Russia</a> to set up two nuclear power plants, a $12.65 billion investment. Bangladesh began construction on its first power plant in November 2017, according to the <a href="https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/news/bangladesh-starts-constructing-its-first-nuclear-power-plant">International Atomic Energy Agency.</a> The Business Standard reported that the government expects to start commercial operation of the Rooppur plant in 2024. Hasina said the government is now looking for a "suitable" location for the second power plant, <a href="https://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/power-energy/2021/10/10/pm-looking-for-a-place-for-bangladesh-s-second-nuke-plant">The Dhaka Tribune</a> reported."We're looking for a place in the Southern region … It's difficult to find hard soil there but we're surveying various islands and different places to find a suitable one," Hasina said, according to the Tribune. The Business Standard reported that Bangladesh is now the 33rd country to have a nuclear reactor for electricity production. Hasina said she hopes nuclear power helps Bangladesh to become a more developed country: "If the government can build another nuclear power plant in the country, there'll be no problem in power supply," The Dhaka Tribune reported.

The factory was also storing highly flammable plastics and chemicals, the AFP report said."It was a deliberate murder," Jayedul Alam, the district's police chief, told AFP.The website of Sajeeb Group, the company that owns the factory, <a href="https://sajeebgroup.com.bd/">showed an apology note</a> saying it sought forgiveness for the fire and was "on the side" of the families of the deceased. Insider was not immediately able to reach Sajeeb Group for comment for this story.Children as young as 11 are said to be among the missing and the dead. Monnujan Sufian, the state minister for labor, told AFP that a separate investigation had been launched into <keyword id="185859" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="child-labor">child labor</keyword> at the factory.Bangladesh's Unicef representative <a href="https://www.unicef.org/bangladesh/en/press-releases/statement-unicef-representative-bangladesh-tomoo-hozumi-child-deaths-factory-fire">said in a statement on Sunday</a> that as many as 16 children were said to have died in the fire."This tragic incident brings to light yet again that despite laws that should protect them, many children in Bangladesh are not only working, but they are working in hazardous conditions," the statement said.A lack of fire-safety and labor inspections by authorities is common in Bangladesh, said Sharmin Akter, a lawyer who works with high-court matters for the nonprofit organization Bangladesh Legal Aid and Services Trust.Akter told Insider that Thursday's fire was a "complete violation" of workers' rights to life and safe workplaces."It's high time that we ensure proper inspections are carried out," Akter said. "If the fire-safety inspectors had found these issues and confronted the factory owners before, or if the labor inspectors found that they had been hiring children, this would most probably have been prevented."Employing children under 14 <a href="https://www.ilo.org/dhaka/Areasofwork/child-labour/lang--en/index.htm">is illegal in Bangladesh</a>. But as of 2019, there were 1.3 million child laborers in Bangladesh between 5 and 14, accounting for 4.3% of the country's workforce, <a href="https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab/resources/reports/child-labor/bangladesh">according to the US Bureau of International Labor Affairs</a>.Akter said that young children often get hired in Bangladesh using fake papers that claim they are 14 or older."Child labor has become quite common here," she said, adding that the onus is on companies and the authorities to prevent such lapses.Bangladesh also has a history of deadly industrial disasters and fires. In 2012, a textile factory fire in Dhaka left 117 people dead; reports suggested that <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/nov/25/bangladesh-textile-factory-fire">the exits had been locked</a>. The next year, a building that housed five garment factories in Dhaka collapsed, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bangladesh-factory-had-huge-construction-flaws-2013-5">killing 1,132 people</a> and injuring more than 2,500 other people.Akter said that though negligent owners are often arrested following industrial disasters like Thursday's, the court takes years to resolve their cases, and people are often released on bail. She pointed to the 2012 factory fire as an example: Authorities made some arrests, she said, but the court is still hearing the case, no one has been sentenced.

A special team of India’s National Security Guard (<keyword id="44790" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="NSG">NSG</keyword>) officers are set to travel to Bangladesh where it would "analyse and study" the bombings that happened at an Eid prayer gathering in Dhaka, along with the attacks at a high-end restaurant on July 1st. 
 
The government has authorised the team of NSG officers to travel to Dhaka after its request to visit these spots for a first-hand understanding met with an approval from the Special Forces establishment in Bangladesh. 
 
The NSG team also includes experts in post-blast analysis and counter-terror operations, who will be analysing the bakery attack, in which terrorists killed 22 people. 
 
NSG would be studying the scenario along with their Bangladeshi counterparts, to get an insight into these so that it can not only enhance the counter-terror cooperation between India and Bangladesh but can also add value to NSG’s operations knowledge, which was founded in 1974.
