Workers of Lumen Textile in Telipara, Gazipur, blocked the highway on Monday, protesting the delayed payment of their February salaries. This caused a massive traffic jam on the Dhaka-Mymensingh highway. Meanwhile, in Tongi, workers demonstrated after two garment factories were shut down. The military intervened to clear the roads and restore traffic. Workers complained that salary payments are often delayed, and although wages were due on Sunday, they were not paid.
