Bus strike in Khulna

Transport workers have called an indefinite bus strike in all routes of the district from today demanding ban on plying of illegal shallow-engine driven vehicles on highways. Khulna District Bus-Minibus-Coach Owners' Association, Rupsha-Bagerhat Bus-Minibus Owners' Association, Khulna Motor Workers' Union and Bagerhat Transport Workers' Union will jointly enforce the strike. Nurul Haque Lipon, President of Rupsha-Bagerhat Bus-Minibus Owners' Association said they have decided to enforce an indefinite strike as local administration failed to stop plying of human haulers like Nasimon, Karimon, Bhotbhoti, Easybike and Mohendra on highways.
