Production has been halted at around 25 garment factories in Savar's Ashulia due to ongoing labor unrest.

Md Sarwar Alam, Superintendent of Ashulia Industrial Police-1, confirmed the closures of the factories on Wednesday morning (September 18).

He said, "Production has been halted at 25 garment factories in Ashulia today. Of these, 20 factories are closed under Section 13(1). Additionally, workers initially reported for duty at 5 factories, but these were later declared to have a general holiday."

"However, there have been no reports of disturbances. Additional police have been deployed, and army patrols are underway to prevent any untoward incidents," he added.

Workers have claimed that they have been protesting for over 15 consecutive days for various demands. But garment factory owners have closed the factories without discussion and are refusing to address their concerns.
