The workers from various factories in Uttara said their protest will resume on Monday morning. Hundreds of garment workers took to the street for implementation of minimum wage and other demands around 9:00am, said Mizanur Rahman, assistant commissioner of Airport Police. People headed to the airport to catch flights were seen in distress as some tried to make it to the airport on foot while carrying their luggage. Traffic came to a standstill on the Dhaka-Mymensingh Highway as the workers held demonstrations in the area between Uttara’s Azampur and Jasimuddin Road. The protest got bigger when workers from Uttar Khan and Dakkshin Khan joined in.
