The government has asked RMG factory owners to let workers go on Eid-ul-Azha holidays in phases in order to control holiday rush on the highways.
“We have talked to Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association and Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association and told them to give workers holidays in phases instead of letting them all go on a single day,” said Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal in response to question at parliament yesterday.
He said the decision was made to reduce pressure on the highways during the festival, hence reduce sufferings of the homeward bound people.
Kamal further said the factory owners were asked to clear workers’ festival allowance before Eid.
