The strike at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) has been called off after authorities formed a probe body to investigate allegations of assault on a nurse.
A group of nurses went on strike, on Thursday morning, after a reported assault on their coworker by a BSMMU hospital staff member.
The nurses observed the strike from 10am in front of the outdoor unit of the hospital.
Shahbagh police station Officer-in-Charge Abul Hasan said they called it off around 11:30am, after the authorities assured them that they would investigate the matter.
