Truckers have called off strike over a hike in diesel prices after two hours of talks with the government as the home minister says the demand for higher freight charges is logical.

“We think their demand is logical,” the minister, Asaduzzaman Khan, said, urging business groups BGMEA, BKMEA, FBCCI and others to increase freight charges, reports bdnews24.com.
