Dhaka Sarak Paribahan Malik Samity has decided to run buses and minibuses on Dhaka city and inter-district routes during a 48-hour countrywide blockade to be enforced by the BNP and its like-minded parties.
The decision was taken in a meeting held on Saturday with the leaders of the association, transport companies, and workers' leaders about 'the hartal called by BNP-Jamaat', said a press release signed by Dhaka Sarak Paribahan Malik Samity office secretary Samdani Khandaker.
