Following the recent blockade in Dhaka’s Kakrail area by workers of TNZ Garments demanding overdue wages, the Ministry of Labour held an emergency meeting and reached five critical decisions:
1. The workers’ dues will be paid within seven working days through the sale of the owner’s house and the company’s washing plant.
2. Labour leaders will withdraw their siege of the Labour Building.
3. As the TNZ Group owner is currently abroad, the government will initiate a red alert through Interpol for his return.
4. A travel ban has been imposed on directors and management personnel associated with TNZ.
5. The company’s finance director will remain under government custody until workers’ payments are cleared.
