Garment workers from S M Fashion factory blocked the main road in Mirpur-11, Dhaka, on Tuesday afternoon demanding payment of their overdue wages and allowances. The protest began around 1:30 p.m., halting traffic in the area. Workers said the factory management had promised to pay their January salaries and benefits on Monday but failed to do so, prompting them to take to the streets in anger.
Police intervened, and by 3:00 p.m. the workers ended their blockade following discussions between worker representatives and the factory management. According to Pallabi Police Station Officer-in-Charge A K M Alamgir Jahan, the factory owners assured that all outstanding payments would be made by Thursday. Traffic movement on the Mirpur-11 road returned to normal after the workers dispersed.
The incident highlights ongoing tensions in Dhaka’s garment sector over delayed wage payments, a recurring issue that often leads to worker protests and temporary disruptions in industrial areas.
