, May 18 -- Bus services on all routes from Rajshahi remained suspended since Monday morning following a dispute over the newly announced committee of the Rajshahi District Motor Workers' Union, causing immense suffering for commuters.

According to workers' union sources, a 21-member committee of the Rajshahi District Motor Workers' Union was announced centrally on Sunday with Rafiqul Islam Pakhi as president and Mominul Islam general secretary.
