Khulna bus owners and workers have decided to suspend all types of bus services in the district on October 21 and 22.
The decision came when BNP is scheduled to hold a divisional rally in Khulna on October 22.
Leaders and activists of Khulna District Bus-Minibus Owners Association and Khulna Motor Sramik Union took the decision at a meeting last night (October 18, 2022), the union's general secretary Zakir Hossain said.
Suspension of the bus services is part of a pre-announced programme and it has no connection with the BNP rally, he said.
According to district bus owners and workers, over 300 buses ply on 18 routes from Khulna. Due to the decision, no bus will leave and enter Khulna on the two days.
Meanwhile, Khulna city and district units of BNP has almost completed their preparations for holding the divisional rally in Khulna on October 22. Permission to hold the rally has already been granted.
The rally is scheduled to be held on Sonali Bank premises between Dakbungalow and Ferry ghat intersection in the city.
BNP Vice-chairman Shamsuzzaman Dudu spoke at a press conference at the party's Khulna office a while ago. He urged the transport workers not to create any obstacles during the BNP programme.
