In Pics: Garment factory workers bring traffic to a standstill in Bengaluru
Bengaluru, Apr 19: For the second day in a row, garment factory workers brought traffic to a standstill on Hosur Road as thousands of them protested at the Bommanahalli junction on Tuesday.
Garment factory workers are protesting against the recent amendments to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) Scheme. Police offcials were caught off guard when thousands of workers gathered below the Electronic City Expressway without any prior notice.
As a result, police resorted to lathicharge to disperse the crowd which also resulted in few workers as well as policemen being injured.
Massive traffic jam was reported in the early hours which lasted for close to five hours. According to latest reports, protestors set three buses on fire at Jalahalli Cross.
Police put up barricades in the area trying to restrict the crowd but protestors broke the barricades and barged onto the main road.
On Monday, Apr 18 hundreds of workers protested in and around the Silk Board junction causing immense trouble for office goers and commuters. On Monday, commuters faced a similar issue when they were completely caught off guard due to the protest near Silk Board junction.
