Workers of Crown Exclusive Wear Limited in Sripur, Gazipur, staged a protest against unpaid wages, layoffs, and alleged abuse by the management. Protesters blocked roads and set fire to trees in defiance. The factory employs about 3,000 workers, and sources claim that arbitrary dismissals and mistreatment are rampant. Industrial Officer-in-Charge Abdul Latif stated that 14 of the workers’ demands have been met, but issues regarding mobile phone use and the dismissal of a supervisor remain unresolved. Police later confirmed that normal traffic flow has resumed.
