As the transport owner in BD started strike all over the country due to dilapidated condition of the roads the Agartala follow suits. Seems like they are following the same foot step as it is working here. This is the first time in history when transport owners are demanding better road conditions.
I hope somebody in BD should follow Anna Hazari as well. We need somebody like him.
