A garment factory, owned by foreign investors, was closed indefinitely on Sunday in old part of Dhaka Export Processing Zone (DEPZ) here to avert any untoward incident in the wake of labour unrest.

Police and witnesses said around 5,000 workers of Hoplon Garments Factory found the closure notice at its main gate when they came for duty in the morning.

After seeing the notice, the workers tried to stage demonstration but police managed to disperse them peacefully.

Police said a few days back factory authorities terminated two officials and two supervisors following in the wake of continuous demands made by the workers.
