Two workers were shot dead as textile workers, numbering 5,000, took to the streets in Dhaka on Thursday, October 31 to demand the payment of their wages.

In response to the uprising company management closed down several factories. The workers clashed with the police and army, throwing stones and setting fire to two police vehicles.

Attempts by the police and military forces to disperse the crowd met with fierce resistance. Police used batons to control the crowd, but the situation quickly worsened. Police fired several shots to disperse the protesters, injuring two workers aged 15 and 17.

The injured were taken to Dhaka hospital, while six other workers were detained.
