Public transport plying will remain normal amid blockade: Enayetullah

DHAKA, Nov 14, 2023 (BSS) - Dhaka Sarak Paribahan Malik Samity General
Secretary Khandaker Enayetullah today said the movement of public transport,
including bus and minibuses, will remain normal amid the BNP's afresh 48-hour
nationwide blockade starting tomorrow.

"The Samity (association) has requested the owners of transport companies to
keep transport movement normal across the country including the Dhaka city,"
he said in a statement.

BNP has been taking anti-people programmes time and again to create an
unstable situation in the country's political arena, Enayetullah said,
adding, vandalism of vehicles, setting fire to transports, and burning
workers alive in the name of blockade cannot be tolerated in any way.

Transport owners and workers have already rejected the blockade called by
BNP, he said, adding, keeping in mind the sufferings of commoners, the owners
and workers will operate vehicles on roads ignoring the blockade.

The transport owners' leader urged the law enforcement agencies and concerned
administration to take steps to ensure smooth movement of vehicles across the
country.
