Auto-tempo strike
Auto-tempos and auto-rickshaws went off the roads in Sirajganj yesterday protesting realisation of additional charges by owners from the workers. Sirajganj district auto-tempo and auto-rickshaw workers association called the indefinite strike on Monday to press their two-point demand. Association sources said, the auto-tempo and auto-rickshaw owners have been charging Tk 500 a day while the workers earn Tk 350 to Tk 400. Besides, the owners realise an additional amount in the name of 'chain maintenance.' Hamidul Islam, general secretary of the workers association said the strike would continue until their demands are met.
