Home Ministry's Meeting over Transport Strike Issue Postponed

A meeting on the transport strike issue was scheduled to be held at the Home Ministry at 7 pm. But 40 minutes before the start of the meeting, it was abruptly postponed.

On Saturday (November 6) at 5:20 pm, the meeting was postponed, said the public relations officer of the Ministry of Home Affairs Md Sharif Mahmud Apu.

He said the meeting at 7 pm today would not be due to unavoidable reasons. Later on the day of the meeting will be informed in time.

Apart from Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, those concerned were supposed to be present at the meeting.

Journalists started coming to the Home Ministry from the afternoon to cover the meeting. In their presence, the meeting was abruptly adjourned.

 Meanwhile, the Truck Workers-Owners Federation has taken a stand in favor of continuing the strike demanding withdrawal of the decision to increase diesel prices or increase fares.

After a meeting with the Home Minister in Dhanmondi at noon, the leaders of the federation took this position to realize their demands.

After the meeting, Abdul Motaleb, Additional Secretary-General of the Truck Workers-Owners Federation, said either the increased price of fuel should be withdrawn or the fare should be increased. The strike will continue until one of the two demands comes to meet.
