Hundreds of garment workers from Nasa Garments blocked a key thoroughfare in the Tejgaon industrial area of Dhaka on Tuesday morning, bringing traffic to a standstill as they protested for overdue wages.
The demonstration began around 10:15 a.m. near Love Road, where workers occupied the main road to voice their grievances. According to local police, the blockade quickly caused significant traffic congestion, creating long queues of vehicles stretching across both sides of the artery and spilling over into adjacent streets.
