Rail communication halted as workers obstruct track in Dhaka

Shawdesh Desk:

Train communication between Dhaka and the rest of the country has been suspended since Sunday morning as temporary workers of Bangladesh Railway obstructed the rail track in the capital’s Malibagh area, demanding that their jobs be made permanent.

The workers have been obstructing the rail track since 10:00am, snapping all communication between Dhaka and the rest of the country.

Ferdous Ahmed Biswas, officer-in-charge of Kamalapur Railway Police Station, confirmed the development, saying that the workers are steadfast in their demand and are blocking the rail track.

Railways minister Nurul Islam Sujan said that there was no chance of making their jobs permanent as they work on the basis of daily wage.

Terming the workers’ demand ‘illogical,’ the minister said he would recommend recruiting the workers once recruitment is done through outsourcing.
