Indeterminate strike by Habiganj transport workers, 9 point demand to be accepted

The Habiganj transport workers (district bus, minibus, coach, and microbus) Workers Union has called for a district-wide, indeterminate transport strike from this morning (March, 19).

The strike started from 6:00am today.

The Union's President, Sajib Ali, said, "Transportation of patients to Habiganj Sadar Hospital has been provided by at least 40 private ambulances. The authorities recently restricted the parking of ambulances inside hospital grounds. The ambulance driver-owners group has been closing down emergency services for a week as a form of protest."

"The district road transport workers' union demanded a transport strike in the entire area at an emergency meeting yesterday night", he continued.

Sajib Ali said that as long as their demands are not met the strike will continue.
