Workers of an RMG factory blocked a road in Ashulia yesterday, demanding one-month arrears. Following the blockade, long tailbacks were created on both sides of Tongi-Ashulia-EPZ road.

Around 9:00am, workers of Janoron Sweater blocked the road at Nischintapur and Jamgora points, also protesting an attack on them allegedly by outsiders on Monday.

Contacted, Zahirul Haque, managing director of Janoron Sweater Ltd, said that he was busy at a meeting at BGMEA over the issue and made no further comment.
