commitments to rebuild the Department of Inspections of Factories
and Establishments (DIFE). The inspection service was upgraded
to a department in January 2014, high level leadership installed,
positions for 392 new inspectors created and budget boosted from
US$ 900,000 in 2013-14 to US$ 4.1 million in 2015-16.

150 fire stations opened in different parts of the country within one month,
said sources in the BFSCD.
At the same time, different units, including the ‘divers' unit’ of the BFSCD,
