Rickshaw-pullers have withdrawn their blockade from different roads in Dhaka after getting assurance from the law enforcers that the ban on rickshaws on three city streets will be lifted soon.

Several thousand rickshaw-pullers yesterday blocked Atish Dipankar Road, protesting the new ban on rickshaws on three major roads in the capital.

A day after a ban was imposed on rickshaw on three major roads in Dhaka, hundreds of rickshaw-pullers take positions at several points from Uttara to Sayedabad in the capital to protest the restriction.
