Dhaka private ambulance owners suspend strike for seven days
Private ambulance owners at Dhaka Medical College Hospital suspended their strike for seven days on 28 October 2026. The decision followed a meeting with hospital management and Shahbagh police.
The protest sought permanent parking spaces inside the hospital grounds. Owners’ representatives gave the authorities seven days to meet their demands and threatened further action if no agreement was reached.
Reporting documented patients and families struggling to find transport during the strike. Hospital management cited limited space and sought to reduce congestion around the emergency department.
The suspension creates a period for negotiations; it does not mean that the parking dispute has been resolved.
