Commuters have faced severe disruption as an indefinite transport strike paralysed bus services from Mymensingh, Netrokona, Sherpur, Jamalpur, and parts of Kishoreganj. The unrest traces back to Friday night at Mymensingh's Maskanda Bus Stand, where a verbal clash occurred between July Uprising activist Abu Raihan and United bus counter lineman Arun Biswas.Following the incident, anti-discrimination student leaders staged a sit-in at the bus counter, and Biswas was arrested. Bus workers then blocked the bus pass area in protest. United Service's dismissed manager Ratan Pandit said, "I've been at Maskanda Terminal for 32 years under different governments, but never faced this. Terminal control should remain neutral."
