Park staff on strike
The lone children's park in the city's Nawdapara remained closed yesterday as all its 40 staff observed a day-long strike demanding salaries. All children and guardians who came to visit the park returned home as they saw the staff of the park were on strike. Rezaul Islam, an agitating employees' leader said they used to get Tk 1,300 each as monthly salary but they are supposed to get Tk 3,650 as per government rules. Employees said, they submitted a memorandum to the authorities concerned a week ago to raise their salaries but none paid any heed to their demand. Shahjahan Ali, manager of Domestic Electric Technological Services (DETS) which operates the park said, they are holding meetings with both the city corporation and the employees for resolving the issue.
