Workers of state-owned Aleem Jute Mills in Atra industrial belt put up a barricade for two hours on Khulna-Jessore highway to press their demands including allocation of fund for purchasing raw jute and payment of arrears. Production in the mills remained suspended as over a thousand workers and members of their families took part in the agitation. The barricade also disrupted transport services between Khulna and Jessore for two hours. Later, a rally was held in front of mill gate where speakers asked the BJMC authorities to meet their demands by May 20 or face a tougher agitation thereafter.
