Launch services between Dhaka and southern districts have stalled after a group of workers called a strike over a charter of 15 demands.

Only one launch left the Sadarghat terminal on Wednesday, bdnews24 reported quoting Mohammad Selim, transport inspector of Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA).

“Due to a strike called by Jatiya Sramik Oikya Parishad and Jatiya Sramik League, no vessel other than Greenline’s launch has left for Barishal since 8:00am.”
