Bus operations between Barishal and the rest of Bangladesh have been suspended following violent clashes and vandalism at the Nathullabad Central Bus Terminal on Saturday night. The unrest began after an argument over half fares between a BM College student and transport workers escalated, leading hundreds of students to attack the terminal, vandalizing over 150 buses and setting one on fire before firefighters intervened. Transport workers allege that large sums of money were looted and 20–25 workers injured, while students claim workers assaulted them first when they protested the harassment of a fellow student. Although no official strike was declared, bus owners and workers have stopped services citing safety concerns and heavy damage. The suspension has caused severe travel disruptions across the southern region, leaving passengers stranded. Bus owners estimate losses of several crores of taka, with most buses requiring extensive repairs before resuming service.
