The Agartala-Dhaka bus service, which was temporarily suspended in the wake of torching of the ‘Maitree’ bus of Tripura Road Transport Corporation (TRTC) by a mob at Narsingdi in Bangladesh on September 21, resumed on Monday, official sources said. Another bus left for Dhaka from Agartala international bus terminus, the sources said.

The ‘Maitree’ bus had faced mob wrath during a political clash in the area. ‘Maitree’ plies from Agartala to Dhaka on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, while ‘Shyamoli’ from Bangladesh side shuttles during rest of the week, except on Sundays.
