Transport workers went on an indefinite strike on all routes
of Dinajpur Thursday morning protesting the arrest of eight fellow workers and
the attack on a transport leader.
Locals said transport workers put up barricades in many
places including Dinajpur central bus terminal and Baluadanga bus stand in the
morning.
No passenger buses and goods-laden trucks left the district
since morning due to the strike, causing sufferings to common people.
Fazle Rabbi, general secretary of the district Motor
Transport Workers’ Union, said police arrested eight transport workers
including Ambulance Drivers’s Union general secretary Mainuddin following
separate clashes among ambulance drivers and police and human hauler (Paglu)
drivers and transport workers in Baluadanga Thursday night.
As police did not release the detainees till morning,
transport workers called for an indefinite transport strike in the
district.
Transport workers alleged that human hauler drivers beat
Baluadanga bus stand general secretary Dablu up over controlling transport
business in the town. Police did not take any action against the attackers
after getting complaint which created anger among the transport
workers.
In a separate incident, ambulance drivers of M Abdur Rahim
Medical College Hospital locked into a clash with police at night, protesting
the arrest of six ambulance drivers.
Police detained the six drivers over an allegation filed by
Md Mamun, an official of the hospital, that ambulance drivers were taking
additional money from the patients in hostage.
A meeting among transport workers-owners, police, and the
administration was underway Thursday noon to settle the matter.
