Intelligence and regulatory bodies fear a possible labour unrest ahead of Eid caused by the uncertainty over payment of salaries and festival bonuses of workers of some factories affected by the pandemic.
In this situation, the Police Headquarters (PHQ) has instructed the Industrial Police unit to make a list of factories which are not capable of paying workers salaries and bonuses so that steps can be taken to avoid unrest.
Garment factories are among the vulnerable ones.
In Chattogram, two government regulatory bodies have apprehended that 67 garment factories may face labour unrest over payment of salaries and festival bonuses ahead of Eid.
