Tensions flared in Shibu Market and Kather pool areas of Fatullah in Narayanganj as garment workers staged demonstration for the fourth consecutive day on Wednesday demanding a monthly minimum wage of Tk 30,000, triggering clashes with police.
Several workers took to the street around 10 am and tried to block the Dhaka-Narayanganj link road, said Abdullah Al Mamun, Superintendent of Industrial Police.
At one stage, police obstructed them and lobbed tear gas shells and fire sound grenades to disperse them, triggering a clash.
