The indefinite transport strike here jointly enforced on Tuesday by bus owners and transport workers was called off yesterday following a meeting between district Mini-Bus Owners Association and police officials. The association leaders agreed to withdraw the strike after the officials at Assassuni police station assured them of taking action against the culprits who assaulted the transport workers, said Saiful Karim Sabu, president of the association. The bus owners and transport workers enforced the strike on all the eight routes of the district on Tuesday protesting the assault.
