Bus services from Mohakhali terminal resume after 5 hours

Long-route bus services from Mohakhali terminal have resumed after five hours of suspension.

The service resumed around 11am on Tuesday following a meeting between police officials and transport workers and leaders, said Traffic Inspector Akhter Hossain, reports UNB.

Earlier, the transport workers suspended the service around 6am protesting the assault on a fellow driver.

A group of people, in front of the ICDDR,B office, on Monday night,  engaged in an altercation with the driver of an 'Ena Paribahan' bus—and hit him on the head because he used a hydraulic horn, locals said. 

Angered, bus drivers and their assistants  barricaded the road, at night, halting vehicular movement in the Tejgaon and Mohakhali areas— for hours.

Later, police rushed to the scene and brought the situation under control.
