Gazipur,
Nov 9 (UNB) - Vehicular movement on Dhaka-Mymensingh highway has been suspended
since Saturday morning as workers of a factory blocked the highway demanding
payment of their dues in Gazipur district.
The workers of TNZ
Apparels Ltd took to the street around 9 am at Bason point, halting vehicular
movement.
Rahedul Islam,
officer-in-charge of Bason Police Station, said the workers of different
garment factories including TNZ Apparels Ltd staged demonstrations in the last
several days for the payment of their wages for three months.
As their salaries
remained unpaid, workers of TNZ Apparels again blocked the highway in the
morning, causing immense suffering to the commuters.
However, police are
trying to disperse them from the highway.
