Ferry services on the Shariatpur-Chandpur river route resumed this noon (14 November) after a seven-hour suspension following the conditional withdrawal of a strike by the BIWTC Master Welfare Association.
The workers had gone on strike protesting the detention of employees following an accident involving a ferry and a sand-laden bulkhead, which left vehicles stranded at the terminals and caused suffering to passengers.
The association withdrew the strike after discussions with the BIWTC chairman, who assured them that their demands would be addressed, though they warned of another strike if the detained employees are not released on bail.
