In Comilla, traders have protested by blocking the Kandirpar-Chawkbazar road. The traders observed the program from 9 am to 12 noon on Tuesday.
Thousands of traders and shop workers took part in the protest. The traders claimed that about one lakh people were involved in small and medium businesses in Comilla. They could not continue business at many festivals due to last year's general holiday.
In this, many have paid the salaries of the employees by taking loans, many have been forced to lay off the employees. They are shocked that the lockdown has not been repaired yet. They claim that the government could have warned them in early March as the infection was on the rise.
But without any discussion, they have to sit on the road to make a sudden decision by the government. Holy Boishakh and Eid-ul-Fitr in front.
Atik Ullah Khokon, General Secretary of Comilla Shop Owners Association, Mahbub Hossain, Joint General Secretary, Anisur Rahman, President of Khandaker Haque Tower, Muktar Hossain, General Secretary and members of Comilla Shop Owners Association spoke on the occasion. Riaz Uddin. Comilla Shop Owners Association General Secretary Atiq Ullah Khokon said, 'We want to keep all the shops open from 10 am to 4 pm in compliance with all kinds of hygiene rules.
Since the government has kept a lot open to a limited extent, where is the problem in keeping the shops open? Our business-employees are in quite a crisis. If the government does not accept our demands, I will sit on the street and never return home.
Later, the traders went to the office of local MP AQM Bahauddin Bahar with a protest procession. MP Bahar addressed the agitating traders and asked them to keep their shops closed till next Thursday. I will talk to the central leaders of the business association after Thursday. I will listen to what the higher authorities say. If not, I will make a decision locally.
