Khulna fuel traders and workers have started a strike for an indefinite period demanding the implementation of a sales commission of 7.5 per cent.
The traders said that they will continue the strike until their demand is met.
Sheikh Murad Hossain, general secretary of Khulna divisional committee of Bangladesh Fuel Oil Distributors Association, said "The extraction of fuel oil from three state-owned depots--Padma, Meghna, and Jamuna-- in Khulna has been stopped and the supply of fuel oil has been stopped in 15 districts."
"A gazette in this regard has been published but it's still not implemented. We are continuing our movement until the implementation of the demand."
