Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, the "Martyrs' March," a victim group from the quota reform movement, conducted a peaceful demonstration in front of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) headquarters in the Uttara area of Dhaka, Bangladesh. This was a low-level protest demanding accountability from those responsible for RAB's forced disappearances, killings, and crossfire incidents over the past 16 years, with limited direct supply-chain disruptions.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Dhaka metropolitan logistics: The Uttara area is a key transportation hub in northern Dhaka, and if protests expand, temporary delays in logistics movement within the metropolitan area are possible
• Garment and textile industry: Potential impact on operations of garment manufacturers near Dhaka and export routes to ports, which are Bangladesh's main export industry
• Port accessibility: Land transportation to major import/export ports including Chittagong Port could be affected if protests spread

3) Watch points

• Protest expansion: Need to monitor the spread of solidarity protests to other regions and trends in protest scale increases
• Transportation infrastructure impact: Monitoring traffic conditions on major logistics routes such as the Dhaka-Chittagong highway
