Dhaka, Nov. 2 -- Garment workers have renewed protests in Gazipur's industrial belt over their demand for a minimum monthly wage of Tk 30,000, keeping tensions high despite the formation of a new wage board.

Workers from several factories took to different points along the highway on Monday morning in the Konabari, Safipur, Mouchak and Palli Bidyut areas.

Their demonstrations have largely halted traffic on the Dhaka-Tangail Highway.

Police and Industrial Police have taken up positions at factory gates across the industrial area as well as at protest sites along the highway.
