Ashulia garment unrest eases

Four days of unrest in the readymade garment zone in Ashulia has calmed down following a tripartite meeting among Ha-Meem group authorities, labour leaders and government representatives on Thursday.

Following the meeting, the agitating workers returned to their homes. Police deployments have not been withdrawn from the area, though.
Several resolutions were agreed in the meeting mediated by State Minister for Home Shamsul Haque Tuku, who represented the government.

Contacted, Brig Gen (retd) Mohammad Ali Mondal, director of the project in Ashulia of Ha-Meem Group, told The Daily Star that the workers will receive the increment in demand from July.

The owners will bear the workers’ treatment expenses of injuries incurred during the clashes and their wages for the last four days will not be deducted, informed Mondal.
