Bus strike called off
Bus owners withdrew their indefinite strike yesterday, seven hours after they halted operations on the Munshiganj-Narayanganj-Dhaka routes.
Narayanganj-Munshiganj District Bus, Minibus, Truck and Covered Van Owners' Association called the strike around 6:00am protesting the plying of Raf Raf Paribahan buses on these routes illegally.
Raf Raf Paribahan was operating buses from Panchabati to Gulisthan on Dhaka-Narayanganj-Pagla road without route permit, said the association President Mukter Hossain.
The strike was called off around 1:00pm after local administration assured the bus owners that steps would be taken to halt the bus services of Raf Raf Paribahan until it receives the route permit, report our Narayanganj and Munshiganj correspondents.
During a meeting with the bus owners at Narayanganj DC office, the administration also assured the bus owners to evict all counters of the Paribahan.
