The female worker died on the spot. And Jamal Uddin was admitted to the ICU of the DMCH.
Mentionable that, the garment workers have been on the road for the last few days demanding a hike in their wages. Then the owners decided to give them Tk 12,500 at the entry level. But the workers did not accept the decision. They demanded Tk 23,000.
