I am running centos and I have around 1,300 files in a folder that each need to be bzipped individually. What would be the easiest way of handing this?

I have written below script to bzip2 files to another directory
#!/bin/bash
filedir=/home/vikrant_singh_rana/test/*
for filename in $filedir; do
name=$(basename "$filename" | sed -e 's/\.[^.]*$//')
bzip2 -dc $filename > /home/vikrant_singh_rana/unzipfiles/$name
done
my sample file name was like
2001_xyz_30Sep2020_1400-30Sep2020_1500.csv.bz2
I was not able to get any direct command, hence made this. This is working fine as expected.
