Workers of a Readymade Garment (RMG) factory blocked a portion of Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue in Farmgate area for half an hour on Monday, demanding their arrears, said police.

Confirming the matter, Officer-in-Charge (investigation) of Tejgaon Police Station Sentu Miah told the FE that the workers of Gold Star Design Limited halted the traffic movement on the avenue for half an hour at about 2:00pm.

The workers suspended their agitation as the RMG factory owner agreed to pay the arrears for four months within April 25, he said, adding that 400 workers are now working at the factory.

The traffic movement is now normal, the police officer said.
