Event

Tank lorry owners under the Bangladesh Tank-lorry Owners Association have called off an indefinite nationwide strike planned for Jan. 3 after talks with government officials. Organizers had planned the action to demand higher transport fares following a recent diesel price increase. Fresh work stoppages are possible from mid-January if officials fail to fulfill their promises.
