Transport strike in Habiganj

District Bus Owners' Association and Transport Workers' Union yesterday morning enforced an indefinite strike on nine routes of the district demanding withdrawal of a new bus service on Habiganj-Sylhet route.
The routes on which the wildcat strike was enforced include Habiganj-Sylhet, Habiganj-Lakhai, Lakhai-Sylhet, Habiganj-Nabiganj, Habiganj-Madhabpur and Habiganj-Asampara.
Locals said, two groups of transport workers locked in a clash on Tuesday over introduction of a new bus service 'Super Express' on Habiganj Sylhet route.
The rowdy workers also damaged 20 vehicles at Habiganj bus stand during the melee.
The bus owners and transport workers later decided to enforce the strike on the routes today to realise their demand.
