Container movement to and from Chattogram port remained suspended for the second consecutive day as transport workers again went on work abstention yesterday morning -- just four hours after they had withdrawn their previous strike.

The import and export of container cargo through Chattogram port increased significantly in January, driven by rising imports ahead of Ramadan and a gradual increase in export orders for readymade garments.
