Bus services cut off between Dhaka and rest of the country

By Redoy K

Bangladesh faces nationwide transport disruption as students enforce a “complete shutdown” protesting police action and demanding quota reform and “crime-free” campuses. Bus services from Dhaka to other districts are suspended, with terminals reporting no passengers. In Chattogram, protesters blocked the Shah Amanat Bridge, cutting off road communication to Cox’s Bazar. Narayanganj also sees bus service suspension and student processions. Many commuters are left stranded or seeking alternative transportation.
