Workers of a garment factory have blocked the Dhaka-Mymensingh highway at Bagherbazar point in Gazipur this morning, demanding attendance bonus.

Thousands of workers from Golden Refit Garment Limited took to the streets around 10:00am, halting traffic from Chandana intersection to Mauna highway, said Salna Highway Police Station's Officer-in-Charge Md Sale Ahmed.

Several workers said that they must be paid attendance bonus as it is difficult for them to run their families without it.

If their demand is not met, they will not leave the road, they said.

The workers have been demanding Tk 1,000 attendance bonus per month.
