This is the largest jute mill in the northern part of the country.
The mill authorities said they were forced to close the mill as all
workers went for strike in the morning without prior announcement.
About 2600 workers stopped work and went out of the mill demanding
action against four officials for their repressive activities. The
workers Saturday lodged a written allegation against four officials
with the deputy commissioner accusing them of repressing female
workers and officials and employees and disregarding salary
structure. In 2003 , the mill started its operation with two units
comprising 296 looms. It fetches Tk70-80 crore from exports of jute
bags and yarns per year.
