RMG workers stage demo for arrears in Savar

Workers of a readymade garment factory on Tuesday staged demonstrations blocking Dhaka-Aricha highway near Savar bazar bus stand demanding that unpaid wages be cleared, reports UNB.

The agitated workers said the owner of 'GK Garment' did not pay their unpaid wages though they assured them several times to this end.

Around 100 workers blocked the highway in the morning, halting vehicular movement on one carriageway of the highway.

On information, police rushed in and charged baton on the agitating workers, leaving at least 10 of them injured.

The workers said they will continue their agitation until the dues are cleared.

They will take steps after discussion with the factory authorities, said AFM Sayed, officer-in-charge of Savar police station.
