Local transport owners and workers have called an indefinite strike in the district protesting the picking up of a transport worker by unknown people in the name of law enforcers.
Chittagong Sarak Paribahan Malik Samity Secretary General Manjurul Alam Manju confirmed the strike that was started from 6pm yesterday and would continue for the indefinite period.
“Some people introducing themselves as law enforcing agency personnel picked up Nurul Islam from his residence in Saltgola area in the port city on Wednesday morning and since then he remains traceless,” Manju continued.
“We have wanted to know Nurul’s whereabouts from different law enforcing agencies, but they denied their involvement in the arrest,” he went on adding that the transport strike would remain in enforced until the missing transport worker would be found.
