Coming Thursday is the holy Eid-ul-Azha. However, until yesterday, more than half of the factories of the garment industry could not give Eid bonus to the workers and only two and a half percent of factories have paid half of the current month’s salary. Such a picture has emerged in the latest statistics of the Industrial Police. It can be seen that the salaries of many factories in other industrial sectors, including clothing, are still outstanding for the month of May. A total of 337 factories have not yet paid last month’s salaries among them there are 128 garment and textile factories.
Industrial police supervised many factories in Ashulia, Gazipur, Chittagong, Narayanganj, Mymensingh, Khulna, Comilla and Sylhet.
