Passengers are suffering immensely due to the sudden strike, and also paying hiked up fares to vans, rickshaws, three-wheelers, and other vehicles to reach their destinations. However, buses are moving as usual on the Hili-Dinajpur, Hili-Joypurhat, Hili-Dhaka routes. Driver Ratan Kumar said: “It has become impossible for us to drive according to the new laws because we drivers never intentionally seek out collisions. Whatever the case may be, it is us drivers who will have to face the consequences. However, he denied any involvement, saying: “This strike was not organized by any organization; the drivers rather stopped working on their own.”They suspended their services on Saturday after parking their vehicles at the Hili bus terminal.
