Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Adviser Hasan Arif today issued a stern warning against attempts to create trouble in the country’s readymade garment factories.
he said this after a meeting at the home ministry joined by several advisers and chiefs of armed and law enforcement agencies.
Arif said “stern actions will be taken” against the trouble makers or those who are found responsible to create unrest in factories to save the country’s economy.
Home Affairs Adviser Lt. Gen. (Retd) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury chaired the meeting over the workers protests at Ashulia and Savar since this morning.
He said that the members of the law enforcement agencies were not used against people, but some people were responsible to create unrest in the factories, so, action should be taken against them.
Factory authorities aid at least 60 factories were closed temporarily in the industrial hubs.
The home affairs adviser also spoke to the media when he said police was gradually regaining their morale and image.
“It will take time. . . . cant expect that to happen overnight,” he added.
Arif supplemented Chowdhury saying police should also take steps to bring back their image to evade negative public attitude towards them.
He said that morality of police was lost due to a series of misdeeds in the past days which exposed them to the image crisis.
The adviser also said joint operations have been conducted to recover illegal weapons, adding, “After that operations, those, who will be found with illegal weapons, will be brought under the law.”
