Commuters have faced severe disruption as an indefinite transport strike paralysed bus services from Mymensingh, Netrokona, Sherpur, Jamalpur, and parts of Kishoreganj. The strike, called by bus workers protesting the arrest of a worker and the closure of 16 United Service buses, left passengers stranded on inter-district routes. Saturday had seen similar disruption, although some services resumed in the afternoon under United Service and Soukhin Transport. The unrest traces back to Friday night at Mymensingh’s Maskanda Bus Stand, where a verbal clash occurred between July Uprising activist Abu Raihan and United bus counter lineman Arun Biswas. Bus workers then blocked the bus pass area in protest.
