Staff Correspondent, Khulna
Mongla Port Authority (MPA) will be releasing 1,122 dock workers from services through a golden handshake programme from the first week of June.The port authorities and concerned parties signed an agreement in this regard on Saturday with the MPA chairman in the chair, sources said. In the second phase of the programme, the MPA will spend Tk 12 crore for releasing the staff under its Dock Workers' Management Board, they added. Between 2001 and 2002, the MPA handed over Tk 4 crore to 476 dock workers for releasing them from services in the first phase of the programme, MPA sources said. The MPA appointed 5000 dock workers at the port in 1987 on daily payment basis. As fewer foreign vessels anchor at the port in recent times, port activities require few staff.
