At least 20 people were injured in a clash between workers and police during a five-hour blockade on the Dhaka-Sylhet highway in Rupganj, Narayanganj, on Saturday. The blockade, organized by workers of B Brothers Company Limited, caused an 18-kilometer traffic jam, stranding passengers and ambulances. Police said the workers began protesting inside the factory over unpaid wages for December 2025 to February 2026, later moving to the highway where they blocked traffic.
Workers alleged that the factory management had been delaying salary payments and mistreating employees who protested. Tensions escalated when some workers were confined inside the factory while others demonstrated outside. Police attempted to disperse the protesters with batons, leading to a chase and counter-chase. Vehicles and parts of the factory were vandalized during the confrontation.
Local lawmaker Mostafizur Rahman Bhuiyan Dipu arrived at the scene and assured workers that December wages would be paid on Sunday and January wages on Wednesday. Following his assurance, the workers withdrew the blockade and returned to work.
