The Bangladesh Ambulance Owners Welfare Association has called off its announced indefinite nationwide strike to press home their six-point demand, including the withdrawal of taxes imposed by Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA).

"In the discussion, we were assured that there will be no cases against any ambulance anywhere in Bangladesh over tax-token fitment and paperwork until a policy is in place," states the press statement signed by Golam Mustafa, president of the association.
