After a day's break in their agitation, thousands of workers of more than 700 powerlooms textile industries in Faisalabad's Sadhar Industrial Estate observed a complete strike, took out a rally and resumed their sit-in after their employers refused to honour an agreement with the district administration for an increase in their wages.

They also criticized the government for a manifold increase in the electricity and gas tariffs.

They demanded the Faisalabad district administration to direct the department concerned to issue social security cards to all the workers.
