A security worker of a garment factory was killed after being run over by a truck in Chandra area of Gazipur’s Kaliakair upazila on the Dhaka-Tangail highway on Sunday (22 January). At this time, three more workers were injured.

“Factory workers set the truck on fire and vandalised more than fifty vehicles. At one point, the agitated workers blocked the Dhaka-Tangail highway in the Chandra area, bringing traffic on the route to a halt,” said Konabari Highway Police Station Officer-n-Charge Atiqul Islam.

Gazipur district police have been informed to control the situation, he added.

Police said the deceased security personnel has been identified as Azadul Haque, 40. Attempts are being made to talk to the workers to control the situation.

According to eyewitnesses and police, some workers along with Azadul were going to the factory together this morning. Around 8am, a speeding truck hit Azadul and some workers. Azadul died on the spot.

After the accident, the angry factory workers set the truck on fire. The driver of the truck managed to escape after the accident. Later the fire was extinguished by the efforts of local people. The truck involved in the accident has been impounded by the police.

Traffic on the highway has been closed for about two hours since the accident – causing 5-6 kilometres tailbacks on both sides of the highway. Policemen are currently at the scene.
