Rajshahi Divisional Committee of CNG Filling Station Owners’ Association called for a dawn to dusk strike for Thursday in Bogura demanding for arrest of accused who vandalised a CNG filling station in the district for not getting gas on Sunday.

The decision to enforce the strike came from an emergency meeting of the organisation on Monday night. The meeting was chaired by the organisation’s president Shamsul Hoque.

Mizanur Rahman Ratan, general secretary of the organisation, said they will enforce the daylong strike from 6am to 6pm in the district if the accused are not arrested soon.
