Bus operations from Barishal’s Nathullabad terminal remained suspended for the second consecutive day on Monday, November 17, following extensive vandalism by students of BM College. The unrest began Saturday night after a dispute over half fares led hundreds of students to storm the terminal, damaging more than 150 buses along with terminal buildings and ticket counters. Bus owners reported that nearly all vehicles were rendered unusable, preventing them from resuming service on 23 local routes. Passengers faced severe travel disruptions, with many resorting to three-wheelers or rented motorcycles to reach their destinations. The Barishal District Bus Owners’ Group stated they have requested compensation from the college authorities and will resume operations only after repairs are completed. However, long-distance routes, including those to Dhaka, continue to operate normally despite the local transport shutdown.
