Staff Reporter :
Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC) for the first time has allocated 60 buses for the transportation of garment workers during Eid rush.
The state-run corporation took the special initiative following a request from the president of Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), a BRTC official said on Saturday.
Among 60 buses, 30 buses will remain as stand-by at Gazipur Chowrasta
on June 3 while 30 others have already been sent to different BRTC depots, Moniruzzaman Babu, Deputy General Manager (operation) of BRTC, confirmed.
He said around 1,150 BRTC buses will be at the service of the Eid passengers through out the country.
A huge number of garment workers in Dhaka, Gazipur and Narayanganj leave Dhaka just one or two days before Eid, putting huge pressure on transport.
Road Transport and Bridges Ministry has already written to Commerce Ministry and top business bodies including BGMEA to grant leave to garment workers on alternative days to ease the pressure.
