At least 50 persons were injured in a clash between workers from two factories inside the Chattogram Export Processing Zone (EPZ) on Saturday.
The clash broke out when a worker from one factory had an argument with a colleague from another factory regarding the opening of a factory main gate. The disagreement escalated into a full-fledged clash, with workers from one side reportedly throwing stones at the other, said Officer-in-Charge (OC) of the EPZ Police Station Mohammad Akhtaruzzaman.
As the violence spread, several workers were injured and rushed to Chattogram Medical College Hospital. By noon, 18 individuals were admitted, with two reported to be in critical condition.

At that time, Khaleda Zia took food cooked by her daughter-in-law Dr. Zubaida Rahman.
