Chattogram Port suspends disputed gate fee hike after protests and strike halted operations.
Chattogram Port has suspended a controversial increase in gate pass fees for cargo vehicles after widespread protests and a strike halted operations.
The fee hike from Tk 57.50 to Tk 230 had caused a major disruption, paralyzing freight movement since Saturday.
Port officials, including the port secretary and chairman, agreed to pause the new charges temporarily to restore normal operations, allowing vehicles to enter at the previous rate.
Although the government gazette authorizing the increase remains in effect, the suspension aims to ease supply chain pressures.
Approximately 6,000 trucks awaiting entry are expected to resume operations as tensions ease.
