Dhaka: The workers of a garment factory staged demonstrations in front of their factory near Rampura Television Center in Dhaka to press home their various demands, including halting relocation of their factory on Thursday.

Police said around 100 workers of the factory took to the streets around 8:00am and staged demonstrations protesting the authorities’ move to relocate the factory to another place, disrupting traffic movement on the busy road.
