A section of CNG-run auto-rickshaw owners and workers has called a 72-hour strike from October 15 to press home their nine-point demand, including, arrangement of parking spots.
The Dhaka City CNG-run Auto-rickshaw Owners-Workers Sangram Parishad came up with the announcement at a press conference at Jatiya Press Club on Wednesday. While addressing the press conference, Alhaz Md Barkat Ullah Bhulu, convener of the parishad, read out a press release regarding the strike.
