Security services in Bangladesh have said a normal working environment has returned to the Ashulia industrial zone near the capital, Dhaka. Police sources said more than 1,800 garment manufacturers there had begun production again, following months of protests.

Professor Muhammad Yunus took over as interim prime minister of Bangladesh in early August, but workers’ protests, which brought about the resignation of his predecessor, Sheikh Hasina, continued at first.

Police have said the protests have now stopped and that the garment factories are open and running again.
