"Everyone has rights over salaries and bonuses during Eid. We always warn those factory authorities who try to dilly-dally with salaries and bonuses. However, workers take to the streets suddenly and put barriers on people's movement. Don't do this please," the IGP added.
Additional Superintendent of Industrial Police Sibgatullah presided over the meeting, while some other senior police officials were present there.
