RMG workers block road in Mirpur demanding more Eid holidays

Garment workers have blocked the Mirpur-10 intersection in the capital since morning demanding more holidays on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr.

The blockade has caused huge traffic jam around the area.

Sources said, workers of Hamim Garments have been trying to vandalise all the factories in the area since this morning. Other factory workers in Mirpur-14 are also joining the protesting workers. 

They are demanding that more than three days should be given as Eid holidays.

Police were seen surrounding the workers but took no step so far. 

Earlier on Monday, the government announced a 3-day holiday for this Eid amid lockdown.
