The transport operators resumed the bus services on all routes outbound from Kushtia Monday afternoon, seven hours after they enforced an indefinite strike.
Bus services on the 13 routes from Kushtia to other parts of the country including Dhaka, Jessore, Rajshahi and Khulna remained suspended for seven hours following the strike.
Kushtia bus owners and workers withdrew the indefinite bus strike at about 1:00pm following an assurance from the Roads and Highways Department to take urgent initiative to repair the dilapidated Kushtia-Ishwardi road before the Eid.
The decision to withdraw the strike was taken at a meeting at Kushtia Circuit House participated by the Kushtia Paribahan Malik Sramik Oyikya Parishad leaders, the district deputy commissioner, superintendent of police and RHD officers.
The transport operators in Kushtia on Sunday called an indefinite transport strike on the Kushtia–Ishwardi route from 6:00am on Monday.
