Workers of different readymade garment (RMG) factories staged demonstrations in Dhaka and Chattogram on Wednesday demanding that their wages be cleared.
In Dhaka, demonstrations were staged in Mirpur, Pallabi and Pragati Sharani of the capital and Savar on its outskirts.
At Mirpur, workers of two factories -- ‘Needs Fashions LTD’ and ‘Amichi Apparels LTD’ -- took to the street at Darus Salam around 8:30am and staged demonstrations to press home their demand, said Mostafizur Rahman, officer-in-charge of Mirpur Police Station.
Later, they withdrew their agitation programme around 10am as authorities concerned assured them of meeting their demand, he said.
Workers of ‘Sakib Garments’ in Mirpur-10 area demonstrated at Mirpur-10 roundabout around 10am.
Sopna Akter, a worker of the factory, said they did not get wages for the last three months. “That’s why we’ve taken to the streets. We’ll continue our agitation until our wages are cleared.”
