The Prime Mover-Trailer Labour Union, an organisation of the labours who transport goods in Chattogram Port, has called off their strike after eight hours.

Previously a strike for an indefinite period of time was called on today morning, demanding the arrest of the killers of a fellow worker.

The strike brought the cargo movement, mainly from ready-made garments and other industries, between the port and 19 inland container depots in a halt.

Shahjahan Saju, 48, a Prime Mover driver, was shot dead in Kalu Shah shrine area of Sitakunda on Wednesday. 

A case was filed with Sitakunda Police Station by the victim’s wife after the incident.
