Bengaluru Garment Workers

A three-year-old girl was raped and murdered in Karnataka's Bengaluru on Tuesday. The victim was the child of a single mother, a worker at a garments factory, who has been in a relationship with the accused for over a year.

On Monday, without warning, thousands of garment workers assembled near the city's garment hubs, blocked highway traffic for hours to protest against the union government's changes to the Employee's Provident Fund (EPF) withdrawal rules announced in this year's budget.

Thousands of garment workers in Bengaluru clashed with the police and set buses and cars on fire today, angry with the government over a new controversial rule for provident funds, which has now been withdrawn.
