Bus workers block Mirpur roads to protest attack

Bus workers put up barricades on streets in Mirpur area yesterday to protest the attack on a fellow worker by students, creating severe traffic congestion for almost three hours.
One of the employees also filed a case with Mirpur police accusing 50 to 60 unidentified students of beating up Sohel Rana, the supervisor of Dishari Paribahan, and slitting his tongue at around 10:00am.
However, neither the police nor the bus workers could identify the institution the students belonged to.
Sources said at least 40 students went to Mirpur Section-1 bus stand by a BRTC bus and swooped on Rana.
Following the incident, bus workers observed work abstention from 10:30am to 1:00pm and put up the barricades.
