CNG drivers block Dhaka-Ctg highway

CNG-run auto-rickshaw drivers blockaded Dhaka-Chittagong highway this morning for an hour protesting highway ban on the vehicles.

Vehicular movement was halted for about an hour since 11:00am at Baushia in the upazila , reports our Munshiganj correspondent.

Saiful Islam, a sub-inspector of Bhovechar Police Outpost, confirmed the highway blockade.

The government on July 22 took the decision following the recent deaths on highway road crashes during Eid vacation.

The decision goes into effect across the country today.
