Hundreds of trucks carrying various goods stranded in Benapole

Dhaka, September 22: On the first day of the 72-hour strike called by the Bangladesh Covered Van-Truck-Primemover Goods Transport Owners Association to implement the 15-point demand, the import of imported goods from Benapole land port was stopped. As a result, there was a huge congestion in the Benapole port area. Truck drivers are stuck in the port area as they cannot load goods from the port and reach their destination. Unable to work, the port workers have become helpless. They want the strike to end soon. However, the strike will continue until the demands are met, the leaders of the association said.
