‘Factories Shut, People on Strike’ This is Probably the Biggest Test of Sheikh Haseena | Oneindia

Bangladesh's garment workers, demanding better wages, face intensifying protests resulting in four deaths.

Police used rubber bullets and tear gas, arresting 11,000 workers and closing 150 factories.

The majority of the economy relies on this industry, yet conditions are dire, with workers earning $95 monthly, and seeking $208/month which makes 25,000 taka per month.

The government's response is seen as an attempt to curb the rise of the opposition BNP, as Haseena accuses BNP leaders of collaboration.

With economic stagnation and debt, Haseena's authority may be at risk in January 2024.
