Traffic movement on Dhaka-Mymensingh Highway in Sripur upazila remained halted for about one hour on Saturday due to road blockade by pack factory workers, who agitated for payment of their arrear wages.
The police said workers of the factory, Bangladesh Master Pack Limited, at Gilarchala in the upazila stopped work at 8:00am and blocked the highway demanding payment of their wages of the current month ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr.
Later, the agitating workers also hurled brickbats at the workers of a nearby pack factory apparently in a bid to force them to join their programme.
