Garment factory workers blocked the Dhaka-Narayanganj link road on Monday demanding a minimum wage of 30,000 Taka and other points, creating severe traffic congestion around Shibumarket area at 11 AM.
Witnesses reported that workers from various factories gathered and took positions on both sides of the road with sticks, and vandalized three to four CNG-run auto-rickshaws. Protesting workers stated that living with the current wages has become impossible due to soaring commodity prices.
Police officials, including Fatullah Model Police Station OC Mahbub Alam and Additional Superintendent of Police Tareq Al Mehedi, stated that law enforcement is working at the scene to control the situation.
