A garment worker of Gazipur’s JMS Composite Knitwear Ltd factory have reportedly gone missing, following Monday’s clash between the police and the factory workers.
Kolpona Akhter, 18, was nowhere to be found since the clash, claimed Jobeda Khatun, the mother of the missing woman.
Speaking to journalists and law enforcers in front of the factory on Tuesday, she said Kolpona and her husband Muzahid worked at the factory as a helper and an operator respectively.
Showing a photo of her daughter, the mother burst into tears and said Kolpona is the third among her four children.
She added that her eldest daughter Beauty, 22, and son Shah Alam, 20, are farmers, while the youngest son Nur Alam, 16, is an eighth-grade student at Birganj upazila in Dinajpur.
Kolpona’s sister Beauty said the family looked for Kolpona at Savar’s Enam Medical College, Dhaka Medical College Hospital and other local clinics; but she could not be located.
Liton Mia and Manik Mia, workers at the factory, said the parents might find the missing worker if they were permitted to enter the factory.
However, the security officials did not allow the parents inside the factory.
Polash, a worker of the factory’s knitting department, claimed that three labourers, including Kolpona, remain missing following the clashes.
