The indefinite strike called by auto-rickshaw drivers in Netrokona has been suspended following assurances from Member of Parliament Professor Dr. Md. Anarul Haque. The strike began on Monday morning, halting battery-run auto-rickshaws and rickshaws in the district town and causing suffering to commuters.
Workers called the strike after being denied the renewal of licenses for multiple auto-rickshaws under the same owner. The dispute arose when the municipal authority decided to permit only one or two licenses per owner to ease traffic congestion, which the owners refused to accept.
At noon, MP Professor Dr. Md. Anarul Haque spoke with the drivers and owners over the phone, assuring them regarding licenses and announcing a meeting on Saturday to resolve the issue. Following his assurance, they suspended the strike and reopened the roads for traffic.
