Police will file cases matching the number plates of the vehicles with BRTA database
Bangladesh’s media industry has seen some major shake-ups, with more than two dozen outlets shuffling leadership positions following the July mass uprising last year.
As much as $670 million (around Tk 8,200 crore) from slow-moving World Bank-funded projects will be repurposed, with most of the funds going towards budget support as the government looks to navigate the narrow fiscal space amid a slowing economy.
At least 5,480 people died in 5,856 road crashes in 2024, according to the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority.
Five years have passed since the country’s first underground metro rail project was approved, but construction of the key structure has not yet begun.
The issuance of new vehicle registrations in Bangladesh declined for the second straight year in 2024, dropping by 15 percent compared to 2023.
Friday’s road crash on the Dhaka-Mawa Expressway that claimed the lives of six people and injured four others was inevitable.

The bus that killed 6 had no valid documents
Failing to procure specialised buses for launching dedicated bus service on Dhaka-Gazipur Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor, the authorities are now introducing BRTC buses on the route, a deviation from the original plan.
The cost of the Joydebpur-Ishwardi rail line expansion project may increase to Tk 26,000 crore, over 80 percent higher than the original estimate, mainly due to long delay in starting work after China decided not to fund the project.
