The country's export sector, which has been turning around losses of the pandemic, is at the highest risk due to the transport strike, said the manufacturers. Owners of the transport sector began the strike on Friday in protest of the hike in fuel prices as they think it will sink the transport sector into losses. However, the Bangladesh Covered Van-Truck Prime Mover Goods Transport Owners’ Association has announced they will continue their strike until their demands are met. According to port insiders, the unloading of imported goods from the port and transportation of export goods from the depot came to a halt from Saturday. Moreover, we cannot send the export products to the port due to the same crisis,” he added.
