A volatile situation has gripped the Mirpur-11 area of Dhaka on Tuesday morning, November 3, 2026, as garment workers and police forces entered a direct standoff following the third consecutive day of violent chase and counter-chase incidents.
Demonstrating for wage hikes and structural demands, workers from several RMG factories blocked main roads from Mirpur-10 to Mirpur-11. When law enforcement officers attempted to clear the thoroughfares around 11:00 AM, altercations escalated into violent clashes. Protesters pelted police with brickbats, prompting law enforcement to retaliate with multiple rounds of tear gas shells and sound grenades.

Beneath the Mirpur-11 Metro Rail Station, the streets are strewn with brickbats, footwear, food containers, and personal items, while heavy tear gas smoke caused severe distress to local residents and commuters. The ongoing demonstrations have severely paralyzed traffic around the Mirpur-10 roundabout and adjacent corridors, leaving everyday passengers stranded.
