A total of 219 garment factories in the Ashulia Industrial area were shut down due to ongoing labor unrest. Of these, 86 factories were closed indefinitely under Section 13 (1) of the Labour Act, while the remaining 133 declared a general holiday.
Md Sarwar Alam, superintendent of Ashulia Industrial Police-1, confirmed the closures. He noted that some factories remained closed due to the unrest, with production halted as workers did not return after their demands were unmet.
No reports of attacks, vandalism, or road blockades were recorded today. While some workers entered factories in the morning, they later left without starting working.
To prevent any untoward incidents, additional police, army, Rapid Action Battalion, and Border Guard Bangladesh personnel were deployed around the factories, continuing their patrols in the area.
