Bus strike in Faridpur
Inter-district and local buses here yesterday stopped their services for indefinite period, protesting arrest of a leader of Faridpur Bus Owners' Association. Abdul Mannan Sheikh, president of Inter-District Bus Workers' Union in the district said that they went on strike from 12:00 noon as Kamruzzaman Siddiki alias Kamrul, general secretary of the association, was earlier arrested on charge of illegal toll collection. Sources said, at around 11.00am Kamrul went to the court of senior judicial magistrate to seek bail in the case filed by one Mahabubur Rahaman. But the court rejected his bail prayer and sent him to jail.
