Transport owners of 11 northern districts have suspended bus services with capital city Dhaka via Bogra over an internal conflict with workers. The 11 districts are Rangpur, Kurigram, Gaibandha, Thakurgaon, Dinajpur, Nilphamari, Panchagarh, Lalmonirhat, Naogaon, Joypurhat and Bogra. Aminul Islam, joint-convener of Bogra District Motor Owners Association, said the transport workers of Noagaon district obstructed movement of at least 15 buses here to Dhaka for five days. However, the owners shut down all companies’ bus counters at Rajshahi since Tuesday evening. Earlier, the workers also shut down the northern districts-bound bus counters in Dhaka.
