Jute mill workers today laid siege to Bangladesh Jute Mills Corporation (BJMC) regional office in Khulna, demanding reopening of the jute mills and arrears of irregular staffers.
Hundreds of workers under the banner of Sramik-Krishak, Chhatra-Janata Oikya Parishad took position at the gate of BJMC around 11:00am, reports our Khulna correspondent.

Around 50,000 workers became jobless when the state-run jute mills were closed during this pandemic, he said.
