GAZIPUR, Jan 13 (UNB) - A huge gridlock formed as vehicular movement on the Dhaka-Tangail highway remained suspended for over an hour after garment workers staged demonstration in Gazipur's Konabari area, demanding payment of salaries set by the government.
Mohammad Ziaul Islam, officer-in-charge of Konabari Police Station, said workers of garment factories in the Konabari area took to street around 8am to press home their six-point demand including payment of salary as per the government-announced wage structure.
The other demands include an eight-hour working day instead of ten hours.
A long tailback was created on both sides of the Dhaka-Tangail highway following the demonstration.
However, vehicular movement came back to normal as police drove the demonstrating workers from the highway after assuring them of taking steps regarding their demands.
