Bus strike in Sherpur
An indefinite bus strike called by Sherpur Inter-district Transport Workers Union here Tuesday continued for second day yesterday causing immense suffering to the commuters. Bus communication in 11 internal routes in five upazilas remained cut-off due to the strike. According to the sources, the transport workers union stopped plying of buses on April 27 as its Sherpur branch secretary Shawkat Hossain was assaulted by a CNG-run auto-rickshaw driver in Nouhata area. However, they resumed service after three hours following the assurance of police officials that they would take proper action in this regard. As no action was taken, the transport workers enforced fresh strike on Monday demanding punishment to CNG-run auto-rickshaw driver responsible for the attack.
