A meeting held in Chattogram on Thursday to resolve the ongoing deadlock at the port ended without any decision. The session, attended by Shipping Adviser M Sakhawat Hossain, was convened amid a six-day blockade by port workers protesting the government’s decision to lease the NCT terminal to a foreign company. Despite the adviser’s presence and discussions with port authorities and stakeholders, the protesting workers refused to join the meeting and continued their demonstrations outside.
Sakhawat Hossain told reporters that no foreign operator had yet been appointed and that there was no justification for halting operations at the country’s key economic hub ahead of Ramadan and the national election. He expressed hope that the crisis could be resolved if workers agreed to sit for talks. However, the workers, led by the Port Protection Struggle Council coordinator Humayun Kabir, rejected an invitation to a follow-up meeting at the Boat Club, insisting that any discussion must take place at the port building.
The standoff remains unresolved, with security forces maintaining a presence around the port premises.
