City Desk :
Vehicular movement at Karwan Bazar remained suspended for nearly three hours as a group of stranded migrant workers staged demonstration demanding government steps to ensure their return to Malaysia. Witnesses said the workers took to the street around 9 am, halting vehicular movement.
The workers were supposed to travel to Malaysia through recruiting agencies on May 31, 2024 but due to ticket complications they were unable to travel, reports UNB.
The demonstration created huge traffic gridlock at Farmgate, Bangla Motor, Panthapath and adjacent areas, causing suffering to commuters.
Traffic Inspector Anwar Kabir said the traffic movement returned to normal around 12 pm after they left the roads.
