Transport strike continues in Khulna

The transport strike, enforced protesting the Road Transport Act-2018, has been continuing in Khulna for the fourth consecutive day on Thursday, causing immense sufferings to the commuters.

However, agitating transport owners and workers have withdrawn their strike across the country.

The decision was taken after a meeting held between Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and leaders of Bangladesh Truck, Covered-van Goods Transport Owners-Workers Oikya Parishad on Wednesday midnight.

The home minister said transport owners and workers have withdrawn their strike after the government assured them of accepting their reasonable demands.

Owing to the strike, hundreds of buses were seen parked at Royal Intersection and Shonadanga Bus terminal this morning.

Many were seen inquiring at different counters about the schedule of the buses but to no avail.
