At least 20 people, including 10 women, were injured as workers of two adjoining garment factories clashed for two hours and a half over a boundary wall dispute in Mansurabad area of Chittagong city yesterday.
All of the injured are workers of Four H Group, police said. They were admitted to Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH).
The Four H Group authorities claimed that the adjoining Farzana Garment intentionally erected a boundary wall to cause trouble to the movement of their vehicles by narrowing their access road.
Yesterday, Four H group workers shouted against Farzana Garment when one of their heavy vehicles could not manage to move on the narrow road. Soon after that, the workers of Farzana Garment fell on them with sticks and iron roads, leaving 20 of them injured, police and witnesses said.
The Farzana Garment workers also vandalised three vehicles of Four H Group, said Motiul Islam, officer-in-charge of Double Mooring Police Station. About 30 policemen were deployed at the scene, he added.
GS Jamil, managing director of Four H Group, said production activities at their factory remained suspended after the clash. He said he would sue Farzana Group.
Owner of Farzana Garment, Mohammad Selim, could not be contacted.
