Workers of Nasa Group staged a protest on Tuesday morning, April 7, 2026, blocking the Dhaka-Chattogram highway at Paduar Bazar Bishwaroad area in Cumilla. They erected barricades on both sides of the highway, halting vehicle movement and causing a traffic jam stretching about 10 kilometers. The demonstration was organized to demand payment of long-overdue wages.

Protesting workers said they have been struggling to survive without salaries for a long time and accused the company of attempting to shut down operations illegally. One worker, Taslima Akter, stated that they would continue the blockade throughout the day if their demands were not met. A traveler named Ariful Islam, who was heading from Feni to Dhaka, expressed frustration over the sudden road closure and questioned the need to block a national highway for wage demands.

Cumilla Sadar South Police Station Officer-in-Charge Sirajul Mostafa said that if the workers did not clear the highway soon, authorities would take necessary action to restore traffic flow.
