Police say a covered van has been set on fire in Savar’s Ashulia amid protests by garment factory workers demanding a minimum wage of 30,000 taka.
Police said that a covered van was set on fire during the protest.
Industrial Police-1 Superintendent of Police Md Mominul Islam Bhuiyan said, “A group of miscreants set fire to a covered van on the road in front of the ‘Nadi Filling Station’ in Narsinghpur around 12:15pm on Monday.”
Most of the garment factories in the Narsinghpur, Nishchintapur and Kathgarh areas of Ashulia have declared holidays in the face of the protests.
