Moulvibazar transport strike called off

Moulvibazar Transport Workers' Union called off their strike yesterday following a tripartite meeting between the district administrations, leaders of the union and traders association.

Transport workers enforced an indefinite strike earlier in the day protesting an alleged attack on locals by Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) members, leading to a clash between the two sides that left six people injured in Srimangal upazila on Thursday.

They enforced the strike from 6:00am, demanding punishment of those responsible for the attack, said Sanjib Das, president of the union.

Earlier, six people were injured in the clash between locals and BGB men allegedly over a trifling matter in Srimangal upazila of the district on Thursday evening.
