Strike called off
Bangladesh Cargo Vessel Owners' Association and Inland Water Transport Workers' Federation called off their indefinite strike on Friday evening following an assurance to meet their demands. Laxman Chandra Dhar, vice president of the association, and Abul Kashem Master, central joint secretary of the federation, said they enforced the strike on January 10 to press home their demands including to increase 60 percent daily wages for workers. The decision to withdraw the strike was taken after a tripartite meeting held in the capital on Friday noon among the leaders of cargo vessel owners, transport workers' federation and importers of cement raw material, they said.
