Mill workers lay siege to power station

A tense situation prevailed as police tried to prevent workers from their programme. Policemen retreated when the action committee leaders threatened of a severe consequence for obstructing them. At one stage, the workers became furious when the executive engineer of the sub-station refused to talk to their leaders. Later, he came out of his office being escorted by police and assured them uninterrupted power supply to jute mills.

Later, a meeting was held in front of the sub-station which was presided over by prominent labour leader Sarder Motaharuddin.
