The auto-rickshaw drivers in the Rajshahi city withdrew their strike on Thursday as their employers gave assurance to meet their demands.
The decision to withdraw the strike came after the meeting between the auto-rickshaw drivers and owners held at the office of the battery-run auto-rickshaw owners' association on Thursday morning.
Sources said that the owners, responding to the demand of the drivers, pledged at the meeting to take action against the toll collectors.
Association president Halimuzzaman Alal and leaders of the drivers Khodabakhs and Nayon led the meeting.
The battery-run auto-rickshaw drivers enforced a wildcat daylong strike in the city on Wednesday protesting at the toll collection at every crossing. They vowed to continue their strike on Thursday also if no step were taken to stop the toll collection.
