Blockade halts traffic in 5 dists

Traffic on Syedpur, Nilphamari, Dinajpur, Thakurgaon and Panchagarh remained suspended for five hours due to road blockade imposed by transport workers on Wednesday.

Local sources said a driver of a Nilphamari bound bus from Syedpur scolded a driver of an easy-bike for lifting two passengers in front of Uttara EPZ here around 7:00am.

Other easy bike drivers protested the incident, which triggered a scuffle between them.

As the news reached Syedpur, bus workers at 8am blockaded road at Syedpur WAPDA crossing point, that disrupted road communication in the five districts.

The road blockade was withdrawn at 1:00pm following discussion between workers and easy bike drivers mediated by local administration.
