JS body asks for Home report

A parliamentary standing committee yesterday asked home ministry officials to prepare a specific report on how to control further labour unrest in the garment sector.
Upon receiving the report the parliamentary body on home ministry will prepare a set of recommendations and send it to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Meanwhile, the authorities last night deployed around 2,000 additional forces in Gazipur to intensify security for the garment factories in the area.
"Recent attacks on garment factories at Ashulia was not an isolated incident, it was rather a sabotage. We therefore asked officials of the home ministry to prepare recommendations on how to control such incidents," Maj Gen (retd) Abdus Salam, chairman of the standing committee, told reporters at the Jatiya Sangsad media centre after the meeting.
A correspondent from Gazipur reports: The forces have been taken from Gazipur Police Lines, Armed Police Battalion and from neighbouring districts.
Gazipur district Superintendent of Police SM Mahfuzul Huq said the measure has been taken upon concerns expressed by garment factory owners following the recent unrest.
The three-day turbulence saw arson attacks on the Ha-Meem Group factory and damage to over 100 other factories in Savar and Ashulia.
