Give RMG workers' salary-bonus before Eid

The biggest religious festival of Muslims, Eid-ul-Fitr, is around the corner. RMG workers are supposed to get their wages and bonus before Eid. But every year, we read news of RMG workers not getting their wages, let alone bonus and other incentives. This year, we hope the authority concerned will take necessary measures to ensure the rights of the workers. 

Another point to consider is: most of the RMG workers come to Dhaka from different districts. They are granted leave at the last moment.  They should be given vacation at least one week ahead of Eid so that they can leave the city early. It will help reduce traffic congestion on the highways.
