The workers of Uniform Textile Limited took to the streets and protested since Monday (October 14) morning demanding their salaries. Traffic stopped on the surrounding roads.

The agitators said that the owners ran away without paying the salaries of about 1300 uniform textile workers for one and a half months. The workers complained that the factory was closed on Sunday and the goods were removed. They said that the movement will continue until all the dues including the outstanding salary are cleared.

Garment workers said, we are working regularly. But the owner is not paying us. If our salaries are not paid, we will continue our agitation.

Meanwhile, on the first working day after the official holiday of Durga Puja, the common people have suffered due to long traffic jams due to this movement.
