Traffic movement between Mirpur-14 to Kachukhet in Dhaka resumed around one hour after workers of a readymade (RMG) garment withdrew their blockade demanding arrears on Monday morning.

Shah Mohammad Faisal, Officer-in-Charge of Bhashantek police station, said workers of one Uniform Garment factory put up a barricade in front of the factory on the road demanding the current month’s wages around 9:15am, causing long tailbacks on the both sides of the road.

The authorities of six or seven factories adjacent to Uniform Garment declared holiday apprehending trouble, he said.

The agitating workers left the road upon assurance by the authorities of providing the arrears tomorrow (Tuesday), the OC said.
