Owners and workers of petrol pumps, oil tanks and lorries have threatened to go on indefinite strike from Oct 30 if their 12-point charter of demands are not met by that time, reports bdnews24.com
The demands include a hike in sales commission and a rollback of the rise in lease charges.
Md Nazmul Hoque, convener of Bangladesh Petrol Pump and Tank-Lorry Owners-Workers Unity Council, has urged the government to meet their demands within the next 10 days.
At a press conference on Wednesday, he said: “We call upon the government to fulfill its promises and meet our demands within the next 10 days. Otherwise all the petrol pumps across the country would go for indefinite strike from 6am on Oct 30.”
The leader alleged that the State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources has not come up with a solution to their issues despite repeated petitions. The previous strikes , he said, did not produce any results.
