Subject: [ALOCHONA] RMG owners want more security in Ramadan
Readymade garment factory owners on Thursday sought enhanced security for maintaining order in the export-oriented apparel sector during the month of Ramadan that begins next week.
A delegation of factory owners, led by the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association's president Abdus Salam Murshedy, voiced the demand at a meeting with home affairs minister Sahara Khatun after the weeklong labour unrest in the readymade garment factories in Dhaka and other places over the announcement of new wages for RMG workers.

The owners fear further demonstrations before the Eid, the biggest religious festival of the Muslims, for enhanced wages and festival bonuses.
'We will not allow anyone to take the law into his own hand any further. Stringent measures will be taken to ensure the security of the garment factories so that no one can create any disorder in the sector that contributes 80 per cent of the country's total export earnings,' Sahara Khatun told reporters after the meeting.

She claimed that some external forces were behind the weeklong labour unrest and clashes between workers and police after the announcement of the new wages for the RMG workers.
Some quarters are out to destabilise the government at a time when the trial process of the 1971 war crimes has begun, Sahara remarked.

The BGMEA's president said that the situation in the RMG sector has now returned to normalcy after a weeklong labour unrest which led to vandalism and clashes. 'We have sought enhanced security so that the law and order situation remains normal during the Ramadan in the readymade garment industries,' Murshedy told reporters.
He said the RMG factory owners had asked for precautions so that no one could create any disorder before the Eid-ul-Fitr over any issue.
'The home minister has assured us that security in the RMG industries would be enhanced during the Ramadan,' Murshedy added.
'I want to know who attacked the police during the labour unrest in Savar…Some people wearing lungis were seen during the clashes. The RMG factories do not allow any worker to wear lungi,' observed the home affairs minister, hinting that outsiders were involved in the violence.

Responding to a media report on a Jamaat leader's threat to the government, she said the government would face them with the support of the country's people.
The government on July 29 announced the new pay structure, fixing the monthly minimum wage for entry-level RMG workers at Tk 3,000 per month, which will come into effect from November 1. The RMG workers rejected the announced pay structure and started violent agitation in Dhaka city and other places after the announcement. They are demonstrating for a minimum monthly wage of Tk 5,000 and immediate implementation of the wage structure.

The police in Dhaka and other places are suing thousands of workers for vandalism and attacks on law enforcers.
The Sramik Karmachari Oikya Parishad, a combine of the labour rights bodies, on Tuesday urged the government to upwardly revise the new pay structure for the RMG workers and to implement it immediately.
