The workers stopped production and stayed inside the factory from noon until evening, demanding payment of their September salaries. The situation returned to normal after the authorities assured them that wages would be paid on October 13.
The factory, located near Union Mor at MC Bazar in Mulaid area, announced that all operations would remain closed from October 11 to 13. Workers were instructed to return to work on October 14.
