Workers' striking without any prior intimation forced the Zem Jute Mills Limited, at Muslimbagh under Boda upazila in Panchagarh, to close down its shutters for an indefinite period.
Around 2,600 workers of the largest jute mill in the northern part of country staged a strike demanding action against four officials of the mill for their repressive activities.
The workers also lodged a written allegation against those four officials with the Deputy Commissioner for repressing female workers, officials and employees, and for disregarding salary structure.
The jute mill generates about Tk70 crore to TK80 crore from the exports of jute bags and yarns per year.
