Workers of Nassa Group block Dhaka-Ctg highway over unpaid wages

Hundreds
of workers from Nassa Group, located in the Cumilla EPZ, blocked the
Dhaka-Chattogram highway this morning (7 April), demanding the payment of their
outstanding wages.
The blockade began at around
10am in the Paduar Bazar area, resulting in a massive tailback on both sides of
the busy route.
Earlier, workers held a
procession from the Export Processing Zone (EPZ) area and later gathered on the
highway.
The
demonstrators occupied the road, halting vehicular movement on both lanes of
the Dhaka-Chattogram highway. As a result, long tailbacks formed, causing
immense suffering for commuters and transport operators.
Police rushed to the scene and
were trying to bring the situation under control through discussions with the
workers.
However, at the time of filing
this report, the workers remained on the highway, and the traffic situation
remained chaotic.
