| Lessees get back ZIA cab business |
| 2009-02-03 |
| The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) yesterday handed over the cab service offices to its three lessees--BM Transport, Green Bangla and Baba Auto Gas after ousting the 'grabbers' from the cab service counters at Zia International Airport. On Sunday, Leaders and activists of Airport police station unit of Awami League (AL) took control of the cab service counters after driving out the three lessees of CAAB. Nurul Islam, chief security officer of CAAB told The Daily Star that they handed over the offices to the authorities of the three firms at about 11:00 am in the presence of its chairman. Earlier, police drove out the AL men who locked the offices of the three firms. Officer-in-Charge of the Airport police station Khan Mohammad Sirajul Islam said additional police have been deployed in front of the airport terminal to avert any untoward situation. The AL men locked the rooms of the three firms, owned by Sramik League leaders and workers, and took the possession of those offices on Sunday claiming that they have obtained a court ruling recently in favour of them. Earlier on Saturday, some Juba League activists swooped on lessees' men at the airport to take control of the cab service counters there, leaving three people injured. The three firms won the bid last year, but the previous holders, a consortium of 14 firms, filed a writ petition alleging irregularities in the tender. Recently, they obtained the court ruling in their favour. |
