Workers stage demonstration for regular production
Workers of a sweater factory confined its officials inside the factory building for six hours yesterday morning at Sreepur upazila in Gazipur demanding continuation of regular production.
Hundreds of disgruntled workers of Adib Sweater Factory, located at Mulaid in the upazila, started their demonstration on the factory premises in the morning.
They said the authorities were attempting to shut down the factory to avoid paying the workers their arrears.
Also protesting termination of some fellow workers, the workers confined the factory officials to a room around 9:00am.
Abdus Salam, sub-inspector (SI) of Sreepur Police Station, said the workers freed the confined officials around 3:00pm following a discussion with the factory authorities.
Additional police personnel have been deployed around the factory to avert any untoward situation, the SI added.
