Summary
Garment workers in Ashulia and Gazipur, Bangladesh, blocked highways, including the Dhaka-Tangail road and the Abdullahpur-Baipail road, and set a police box on fire while demanding a monthly minimum wage of Tk 30,000, up from Tk 12,500. Reports say the protests forced factories to suspend operations, with roughly 25 to 30 plants closed, and led to clashes with police, who used tear gas, sound grenades and water cannon. Border Guard Bangladesh personnel were deployed to restore order. The government announced a six-member wage board to review pay. Accounts differ on how many factories closed and on the scale of the clashes, and the reports do not agree on the sequence of events.
