গত ২৮ শে জুন থেকে কোভিড মহামারি নিয়ন্ত্রণে সরকার কঠোর বিধিনিষেধ আরোপ করেন, যা আগামী ১৪ ই জুলাই পর্যন্ত চলমান থাকবে। যেহেতু, এই বিধিনিষেধ এর আওতায় যানবাহন চলাচলে নিষেধাজ্ঞা ছিল তাই আমরা আমাদের ট্রেইনিং স্তগিত রেখেছি।
যদি দ্রুত যানবাহন চলাচল স্বাভাবিক হয় তাহলে আমরা শারীরিকভাবে আমাদের ল্যাবে ট্রেইনিং আয়োজন করব। সেক্ষেত্রে, যারা ইতিমধ্যে এপ্লাই করেছেন তাদের ফোন এবং মেইলে জানানো হবে। আমাদের পরবর্তী সিদ্ধান্ত জানার জন্য চোখ রাখুন আমাদের ফেইসবুক পেইজ এবং ওয়েব সাইটে। ধন্যবাদ সবাইকে।
