Arrears of some workers were paid through pay orders in the programme.

DEPZ Executive Director Abdus Sobhan handed over the pay orders while the remaining workers' arrears were deposited with their bank accounts.

Mentionable, the management announced closure of the A-One (BD) factory in February 2020 due to lack of export orders and its failure to pay wages of workers.
