More than 500 garment factories in Bangladesh have shut down due to ongoing protests over low wages, per TimesLIVE.

Workers clashed with police during demonstrations in Dhaka, demanding better pay and working conditions, Al Jazeera reports.

The government has formed a wage board to address the unrest, as factory closures disrupt the country's key export sector, Reuters notes.
