As many as 170 brick field labourers were detained by police when they were returning home in Satkhira district from Narsingdi hiding in six trucks.
They were detained at Satkhira Sadar Hospital crossing on Tuesday morning.

Satkhira traffic police sub-inspector Zahid Hossain said two labourers in each of the drums on six trucks were returning to Shyamnagar in Satkhira from Narsingdi district covering themselves with polythese sheets.

"All the six trucks were seized at about 9:00am on Tuesday for ignoring the order of the administration. At that time, a total of 170 labourers were detained from the trucks. They hail from Bhetkhali, Koikhali and Ramzan Nagar under Shyampur upazila in Satkhira district. Their names and addresses were verified," he said.

Satkhira deputy commissioner SM Mostofa Kamal said the Shyamnagar upazila nirbahi officer (UNO) has been directed to keep the detained labourers in institutional quarantine to prevent coronavirus infection.
