History edit
The office of The Chief Inspector of Boilers traces its origin to a boiler safely act created in 1923 during the British colonial rule. In 1924, the first boiler inspection department was established in Kolkata. After the Partition of India in 1947, a new inspection department was created for Pakistan in 1961. After the Independence of Bangladesh in 1971, this department became the Office of The Chief Inspector of Boilers.[1] In 2017, six inspectors under the office were responsible for inspecting 5,000 boilers in Bangladesh.[3] It is under the Ministry of Industries, but the Ministry of Labour and Employment (Bangladesh) wants the department to be moved under its Department of Inspection for Factories and Establishments.[4]
