Chattogram garment workers blockade road to demand outstanding wages

Workers of a garment factory in the Chattogram Export Processing Zone (CEPZ) blocked off the CEPZ road on Saturday to demand their outstanding wages.

EPZ Thana Officer-in-Charge Mir Md Nurul Huda confirmed the matter to The Business Standard.

He said garment workers took to the streets at around 4pm today, leading to a stop of vehicular movements on the road at that time.
