An army vehicle and a police van were set on fire amid workers' protest in the Kachukhet area of Mirpur, Dhaka, on Thursday (31 October), with two fire service units deployed to extinguish the flames.
The incident occurred as garment workers from Diana Garments staged a protest on Mirpur-14 Kachukhet road, pressing various demands and attempting to block traffic.
Tensions escalated when police and army personnel arrived to calm the situation, resulting in workers throwing bricks and stones at them. In response, police resorted to baton charges for self-defence, which led to further unrest.
The army took strict measures to regain control, sealing off the area and restricting movement. As of now, the situation remains tense.
