Transport strike threatened in Rajshahi div ahead of Dec 3 BNP rally
Leaders of the transport owners’ association in Rajshshi on Saturday threatened to enforce an indefinite strike in eight districts of the division from December 1 ahead of the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s divisional rally in Rajshshi, scheduled to be held on December 3.
He said that they had decided to keep all kinds of transport services suspended in all the eight districts of the division for an indefinite period since December 1 if their eleven-point demands were not met by November 30.
The demands include amendment to the Road Transport Act-2018, a ban on unauthorised three-wheelers on the highway and an end to ‘administrative hassle’.
So far, the BNP has organised divisional rallies in Khulna, Rangpur, Barishal, Sylhet and Faridpur where party leaders and activists encountered formidable obstacles, including transport strikes and police cases, to join the programmes.
