Long-haul bus services from Rajshahi, Chapainawabganj, and Natore to Dhaka, Chattogram, and other destinations remain suspended for a second day as workers continue their strike demanding fair wages.

Drivers said they earn only Tk 1,350 per round trip from Chapainawabganj to Dhaka, while supervisors and helpers receive just over Tk 500. The pay structure has remained unchanged for 15 years despite multiple rounds of negotiations.
