Long-route buses from Khulna to be suspended from Wednesday

Long-route bus services from Khulna will be suspended from Wednesday due to rapid concern over coronavirus spread.

Khulna Motor Workers Union and Bus Owners and Workers Association took the decision at a joint meeting on Monday.

Mohammad Nurul Islam, president of Khulna Motor Workers union, said bus services with other parts of the country including Dhaka, Barishal, Rajshahi, Rangpur, Sylhet and Chattogram will be suspended from 6:00am on Wednesday to prevent transmission of coronavirus.

However, inter-district bus services will continue until further notice, he said.
