Bangladesh's garment industry partially reopened after widespread closures, but fresh clashes erupted between police and workers demanding higher wages in Dhaka, Gazipur, and Ashulia. Workers protested by blocking highways and faced police tear gas and water cannons. Over 150 factories in Gazipur declared holidays amid unrest. Workers demand a minimum wage increase from 12,500 to 30,000 taka due to rising living costs and inflation, raising concerns about production delays and export confidence.
