The Bangladesh Petrol Pump and Tanker Owners’ Unity Council has called for a half-day strike on 10 demands, including a minimum 7 percent oil sales commission.<\/p>\n
On Sunday (May 25), all activities related to pumping oil from depots and selling oil from petrol pumps will be closed from 6 am to 2 pm.<\/p>\n
This has brought the activities of petrol pumps across the country, including Dhaka, to a standstill. And vehicle drivers and passengers are suffering.<\/p>\n
They complain that they are in trouble due to such a sudden strike. Many are unable to go to hospitals, test centers and offices without being able to get oil.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, those in charge of petrol pump stations say that they are observing a half-day strike after giving a prior announcement.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, petrol pump owners have held a meeting with senior officials of Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation from 10:30 am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
