BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association said the ongoing unrest, involving garment workers, would cost the industry nearly 5 billion Bangladeshi takas ($64.5 million), Dhaka Tribune reported.

Production worth BDT 3 billion has been hampered, and BDT 2 billion would be required if they opt for air-shipments to meet deadlines, the association said. Reaz-Bin-Mahmood, vice president of the association, said 65 factories were vandalized, 15 set on fire and 70 vehicles damaged.
