Foreign RMG unit resumes production at Mongla EPZ

A foreign ready-made garment unit at Mongla Export Processing Zone in Bagerhat resumed production on Tuesday after one day’s suspension following labour unrest. Authorities of ‘Mongla Knitwear Private Ltd’ of Hong Kong suspended the production at the factory on Monday after its workers staged demonstrations to realise their various demands, including implementation of the salary structure announced by the government. The factory resumed production on Tuesday after a fruitful meeting among the factory authorities, EPZ councillors and the agitating workers, said EPZ general manager Hafizur Rahman, according to a news agency.
