Hundreds of ready-made garment workers today (May 23, 2022) staged demonstration blocking a road in Chattogram, demanding due salary for two months.
The workers of Anwara Garments Factory took position on the Bayezid Bostami road in front of the Atomic Energy Center in Purba Nasirabad area around 12:30pm, our staff correspondent reports.
A huge tailback formed due to the road block, and it continued for the next 40 minutes, said Santosh Kumar Chakma, officer-in-charge of Khulshi Police Station.
The surrounding areas of the city including Muradpur, GEC, Bayezid, and other areas were affected due to traffic congestion.
On information, police rushed the spot and managed to remove the protesting workers. “The workers did not get the salary from the last two months, hence, they demonstrated. We contacted with the authorities of the factory over this issue,” OC Santosh said.
