No passenger buses left here for Dhaka and other parts of the country as the ‘all-out non-cooperation’ movement called by the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement got underway since Sunday (4 August) morning.

The disruption of traffic movement caused immense sufferings to commuters on the first working day of the week while many were seen walking to work places and on light vehicles.

Visiting Boro Harishpur Central Bus Terminal in the district headquarters, UNB’s correspondent found most of the bus counters closed in the morning.

Moreover, authorities of Dhaka-bound bus transport suspended their trips on Saturday (3 August) night and returned previously sold tickets to passengers.

The same scene prevailed at Bhabanigan Bus Terminal as no buses left from the station in the district.

District Bus Minibus Owners Association President Lakkhan Poddar said they suspended movement of the buses on security grounds upon the student movement.
