As Eid-ul-Fitr approaches, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan on Wednesday warned against sacking workers before the biggest religious festival of Muslims.
He also said that representatives of various owners' organisations have pledged to pay salaries and bonuses to the workers before Eid-ul-Fitr holidays.
He said the representatives of BGMEA, BKMEA and concerned organisations have pledged to pay the workers' salaries and bonuses for the month of March before the holidays.
“They will pay this salary and bonus. If possible, they will pay the salary for the month of April. However, there is no obligation,” the minister said.
Earlier in the day, he chaired the meeting to review the overall law and order situation across the country, payment of salaries and allowances and holidays to garment workers before Eid, keeping roads and highways safe and traffic-free, among other relevant issues.
