Security forces in Bangladesh used tear gas and batons to disperse thousands of garment workers protesting for livable wages in major industrial areas. The Tarique Rahman government’s crackdown led to violent clashes, injuries, and shutdowns of 400 to 670 apparel units across Gazipur, Ashulia, Savar, Mirpur, and Narayanganj. Workers face severe economic hardships, with high living costs leaving little for essentials like education and nutrition. The unrest threatens global supply chains reliant on Bangladesh’s garment industry.
