On May 19, transport workers allegedly vandalised the weigh station at Bara Darogar Hat of Chittagong's Sitakunda and blocked the highway for hours protesting an assault on a truck driver by an employee of the station.
Regnum Resources, which operates the vandalised Axle Load Control Station of Roads and Highways Department, however, had suspected that it was a well-orchestrated attack with an aim to destroy the system so that goods-laden trucks can move on violating the weight limit.
Humayun Kabir further said a probe committee is investigating the matter and will submit its report soon.
