Golden Handshake
110 dockers at Ctg port apply on 1st day


One hundred and ten dock workers at Chittagong Port opted to resign on the first day under a golden handshake programme that began here on Thursday to retrench some 1500 dockers.

The authorities launched the retrenchment initiative as some 1500 out of around 4500 dock workers were found inefficient because of old age.

The programme is scheduled to continue until April 30.

During the first day of the programme, the authorities also arrested two fake dockers who were working using other workers' IDs.
