Goods transport owners' strike postponed

Dhaka Goods Transport Agency Owners' United Council yesterday postponed its indefinite strike programme scheduled to be started from today, following assurance from the authorities concerned of taking initiatives to stop hijacking of goods-laden vehicles on highways.

"We have postponed the strike programme after a fruitful meeting with the DMP officials at the DMP headquarters in the city," Dolan Kanti Barua, coordinator of the council, told The Daily Star.

DMP authorities will issue a circular allowing trucks and covered vans to ply on the city streets between 9:00pm and 8:00am within a day, said Dolan who also took part in the meeting.
