Bangladesh continues to witness incidents of arson, attacks and labour unrest, raising fresh concerns over law and order and industrial stability.
According to media reports, a petrol bomb was allegedly hurled at the ancestral home of National Citizen Party (NCP) Joint Convener and reserved-seat MP Nusrat Tabassum Joty in Kushtia yesterday. Her parents and other family members were injured in the attack. Police said the exact cause of the incident was yet to be established. The NCP, however, suspects Awami League activists were behind the attack.
Meanwhile, garment factory owners in Ashulia are considering the indefinite closure of 210 factories amid continuing labour unrest. Production was suspended at 143 factories in Ashulia, Jamgora and Hemayetpur on Wednesday. A final decision is expected at a meeting on Saturday.
Separately, workers from several factories in Gazipur’s Kaliakair blocked the Dhaka-Tangail Highway in Mouchak on Thursday, demanding higher wages, causing traffic congestion. Members of the Industrial Police and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) were patrolling the areas to maintain law and order.
