Road communication from different districts to Rajshahi has been suspended after BNP announced their divisional rally in the district tomorrow.
Rajshahi District Bus Owners Joint Secretary Shafkat Manjur told The Daily Star today, "The transport workers have been feeling insecure due to the political programme. That's why they stopped bus communication."
"Bus movement was normal in the morning today. But later the number of buses has reduced slowly. So, we have stopped the movement of buses," he said.
When asked about the rally, BNP's District Publicity Secretary Nazmul Islam told The Daily Star, "We have sought permission to hold the divisional rally at Shaheb Bazar, Gonokpara and Sonadighi intersections in Rajshahi city around 3:00pm tomorrow. But we are yet to get permission."
