Tank lorry owners' strike from tomorrow
Bdnews, Dhaka
The Tank lorry Owners' Association has decided to go for an indefinite strike from tomorrow protesting what it said non-implementation of a decision to raise transport fare of fuel oil. The association informed Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) of the decision in a letter yesterday. It said a meeting between the BPC and the association on March 13 had decided to raise the transport fare of light fuel (diesel, petrol, octane, kerosene) to 20 paisa from 18 paisa per litre while heavy fuel (furnace oil) to 24 paisa from 20 paisa per litre. The association said that as the decision was not implemented until Wednesday, it has decided to go for the strike. Meanwhile, Energy Adviser Mahmudur Rahman has asked the BPC chairman to implement the decision.
