Transport strike called off

Lalmonirhat motor workers union withdrew its indefinite transport strike on Lalmonirhat-Burimari land port route yesterday noon after police assured the workers of taking action against the attackers. The motor workers called the indefinite strike demanding arrest of the culprits who vandalised bus and assaulted a transport worker in Barokhata area under Hatibandha upazila on Tuesday. “If police fail to arrest the attackers within a week, the union will go for tougher programme,” warned secretary of the organisation Bul Bul Ahmed.
