Garment workers once again blocked the Dhaka-Tangail Highway in Gazipur’s Kaliakair and Konabari areas this morning (2 November), demanding higher wages despite the government’s formation of a wage board.

Meanwhile, 10 platoons of the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) were deployed at key points across Gazipur to address the ongoing labour unrest and maintain law and order.
