Summary

Garment workers in Dhaka-area industrial zones, including Mirpur, Savar-Ashulia and Gazipur, have protested demanding a monthly minimum wage of Tk 30,000, against a current floor of Tk 12,500. Reports describe road blockades, clashes with police who used tear gas and sound grenades, a torched police vehicle and police box, and arrests, with detention figures differing between accounts (19 to 29). Factory closures are reported, with counts varying from about 25 to more than 500 across accounts. The government formed a six-member wage board to review pay, and Border Guard Bangladesh personnel were deployed, but demonstrations continued. Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed claimed the unrest was being stirred from across the border. Mohsina Begum said she earns around Tk 18,000 to Tk 20,000 a month, of which Tk 8,000 goes to house rent.
