Islami Bank's sacked officials block Dhaka-Ctg Highway

The sacked officials of Islami Bank Bangladesh PLC blocked the Dhaka-Chattogram Highway in Chattogram's Sitakunda for several hours on Saturday morning, October 4.

A 10-kilometer-long tailback has been created from City Gate to Madambibir Haat in Faujdarhat due to the blockade.

Around 12:00 noon, they formed a human chain programme beside the highway where several hundreds of terminated officials joined.

The protesters alleged the Islami Bank authorities unjustly terminated around 400 officials from Chattogram region and made 4,000 to 5,000 officials OSD (officer on special duty).

Earlier on Friday, October 3, the dismissed officials announced continuous work stoppage from Sunday, October 5, but they began blockade and human chain programmes from today.
