"When I come to inspect the road, the trucks parked illegally are removed from the road and the drivers run away quickly. But when I leave the place, the illegal parking starts again," he said
In a major step towards easing the city's crippling traffic congestion, Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) has freed the Shyamoli-Aminbazar road in the capital from illegal parking.
Police open fire on transport workers injuring one person after an eviction drive at the Tejgaon truck stand turned violent. Several journalists hurt as transport workers come down to the streets blocking Satrasta intersection.
Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal says the fine for illegal parking and over speeding will be raised.
If you are told: Name a city where you can drive or walk as you like, the first answer would be Dhaka! Because people find their own ways to go around the city. Traffic signals change colors—from green to red to green again--but the drivers need not pay any attention to them. But even worst menaces are motorcycles zooming by on the footpaths or people darting through the speeding cars to cross the roads among the already chaotic traffic.
The High Court directs the government to immediately stop illegal parking of vehicles and use of hydraulic horns in Dhaka city.
Motorcycles are swarming Dhaka streets where they whiz past other vehicles, ride on sidewalks and carry out the law defying act of driving on the opposite side of the road.
WE all know that a large part of the choking gridlocks we face each day is due to the illegal parking of buses, trucks and cars.
