Bangladesh garment workers protest for wage increase

Bangladesh garment workers have blocked highways and clashed with police for a third consecutive day. The workers are demanding a 140% increase in monthly minimum wages from 12,500 to 30,000 taka. Protests have disrupted factories across industrial hubs, and police have used tear gas. The government has formed a wage board to address the situation. The Home Minister alleges that political groups are fueling the unrest.
