NN Online:

Garment factory workers once again staged a protest by blocking the Nabinagar-Chandra Highway in Ashulia on Thursday morning, causing serious traffic congestion over a 3-kilometre stretch of the busy road.

Officials and police said the workers of GAB Ltd under the Shahriar Garments section took to the streets, demanding the removal of a senior official.

This protest comes just days after a previous demonstration where the workers had raised multiple demands, which the factory authorities initially agreed to meet.

However, tensions flared again as the workers accused the factory management of reneging on their promises.
