Transport workers block highway for 1 hour

Traffic movement on Dhaka-Rangpur Highway at Pantapara in Gobindaganj upazila came to a halt for over one hour on Saturday due to road barricade by transport workers.

Workers of Motor Sramik Union put up the barricade from 11:00am demanding removal of Gobindaganj Highway thana officer-in-charge Abu Sayeed.

They withdrew the barricade at 12:15pm after Abu Sayeed assured them of considering their demand.

Sramik leader Abdur Razzak said highway police held a truck and released another truck after the two trucks collided on the highway on June 30.

As the truck owner and local transport workers went to highway police to secure the release of the seized truck, the police misbehaved with them.

The workers accused the OC of misconduct and seizing the truck.
