Truck, tanker-lorry strike called off

Staff Correspondent; Rangpur: Truck, tanker-lorry, covered van and pick-up van owners and workers Oikya Parishad called off their 72-hour strike in Rajshahi and Rangpur divisions on Tuesday morning.

The decision has been taken from an emergency meeting held in Bogra after assurance of the divisional administrations to sit with the Parishad leaders to solve their problems, informed the leaders of Oikya Parishad.

The Parishad leaders had first enforced a 48-hour strike and then made it a 72-hour one as the administration failed to fulfill their seven-point demand, within the given time.

The Parishad’s demand include stopping harassment in the name of checking driving licence on highways, stopping plying of unauthorised vehicles on highways and ending harassment in issuing driving license.
