Several truck drivers staged a road blockade at Patgram upazila in Lalmonirhat district on Saturday, protesting an assault of their co-worker.

The two-hour long demonstration took place at upazila�s Kataltala area from 6 to 8 PM.

The assaulted truck driver identified as Yunus Ali, 35.

During the protest, they blocked the Lalmonirhat-Burimari land-port highway which caused huge traffic congestion. 

According to the victim, several youths on bicycle blocked his way at Baura Kathaltala rail intersection and locked into an altercation.
 
�At one stage, they assaulted me and my wife, took money and fled the scene immediately,� he said.

Hatibandha Highway Police Station officer-in-charge (OC) Hafizur Rhamn confirmed the incident and added that the protesters withdrew their blockade after meeting with the law enforcers.
