Now it's 01:10 but the bus hasn't arrived yet. "I have been standing here for more than 30 minutes but couldn't board a bus to go to Jatrabari yet. Existing buses are operating as seating service or jam-packed with many people", said Md Arman, a university student, who went for shopping at Bashundhara City Shopping Centre.Earlier on the day, according to bdnews24.com, workers of Monde Apparels Ltd blocked the road in Kalyanpur for one and a half hours, demanding three months of arrears and bonuses. This created immense traffic congestion from Kalyanpur to Gabtali on Mirpur Road.As many as 150 workers took positions under the Kalyanpur foot-over bridge at around 1:30pm, obstructing traffic on both sides of the road till 3:00pm.The agitating workers told the news agency, "We have not been paid our wages since April; they kept promising us we will be paid, but even today we have not received our wages. This is why we have taken to the streets".ahb_mcj2009@yahoo.com
