Bus services from the Sayeedabad and Gulistan terminals on the Dhaka-Chittagong, Dhaka –Mawa, and Dhaka –Sylhet routes and on different routes in the capital resumed after remaining halted for around 11 hours yesterday following a clash between two groups of transport workers over the ownership of a workers’ union office. In continuation to Monday’s clash between the two groups, the services were halted around six in the morning and no buses left the terminals until 4:30pm. Bangladesh Sarak Paribahan Sramik Union and Dhaka Zila Sarak Sramik Union were forced to resume the services following intervention by the higher authorities in the afternoon, sources close to the workers said. Hundreds of people were seen waiting at the terminals , especially at Sayeedabad,  from where services for Comilla, Noakhali, Sylhet, Chittagong, the hill tract districts as well as other parts of the country are operated.
On Monday, a clash between the two groups of transport workers broke out at the capital’s Gulistan over the control of an office building of the union. Following the unrest, traffic was suspended on the Mayor Hanif Flyover for several hours. The workers had blocked the flyover connecting Gulistan and Jatrabarhi with buses causing huge traffic congestion in the capital.
