Khulna, Nov 26: The workers of jute mills  staged a protest rally  in Khulna city for  reopening of state-owned 25 closed jute mills and arrears payment  of five mills including Khalishpur-Daulatpur Jute Mill according to 2015 pay scale.
Jute mills workers brought out the procession with sticks and workers and leaders and activists of different organisations participated in it.
The procession started from Daulatpur Jute Mill in Khalishpur industrial area and ended at People's Round Square. At the end of the procession, the demonstrators gathered and held a rally.
At the rally, Left Democratic Alliance Convener Mizanur Rahman said the main reason for the loss of 25 closed jute mills is due to corruption by the corrupt officials and consultants of BJMC (Bangladesh Jute Mills Corporation), minister and secretary of the ministries of jute and finance.
The authorities are blaming the workers for the loss and have not paid the payment of the workers even after 17 months of the jute mills' closure, he added.
Gonosanghati Andolon Khulna District Unit's Convener Munir Chowdhury Sohel also addressed the rally.
