A total of 48 Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) platoons have been deployed in Dhaka and adjacent areas to ensure security at garment factories.
They were deployed in Ashulia, Savar, Mirpur, Gazipur and other parts of the country, said Sharuiful Islam, public relations officer of the BGB.
Garment factory workers in Dhaka and nearby areas returned to work on Sunday after 12 days of unrest for a minimum wage of Tk23,000.
The government on Tuesday announced Tk 12,500 as the minimum salary for entry-level readymade garment factory workers, raising it by 56.25% from the current wage.
