DHAKA: Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia asked traffic division to take tough action against buses or any other vehicles for racing and random parking.

“Legal action will also be taken if any passer-by is found responsible for any street accident; the DMP chief told a view-exchange-meeting on “traffic discipline and awareness” programme at Mohanagar Natya Mancha in the capital on Thursday (March 21).

The DMP commissioner warned pedestrians of fine, saying if anyone is found not using zebra crossing, foot over bridge and underpass to cross the roads.

Bus drivers have to pick up passengers from the set up ticket counters, not blocking the roads at that time. 

In his speech to owners and workers, he asked them to stop contractual appointment while encouraging salary-based wage. He asked them to maintain route.

Senior police officials, leaders of the transport owners association and transport workers body were also present in the meeting.
