The ongoing suspension of public transports have been stretched to May 5 following the extension of the general holiday to stem the spread of coronavirus.
The Roads and Highways Division said in a notification on Friday that the move came to prevent further transmission of the highly infectious virus in the country, reports UNB.
However, important services on roads and river, including food supplies, daily commodities, fuel, medicines, agricultural products, fertiliser and essential items, will remain out of the purview of the suspension.
It has also directed all concerned not to carry people on goods-carrying vehicles.
The government declared general holidays from March 26, which was later extended several times, and suspended public transport to tackle the coronavirus outbreak.
On April 23, the government extended the general holidays for the fifth time until May 5 in a bid to tackle the worsening coronavirus situation in the country.
