Road Safety Movement 2018

National Road Safety Day / Efforts to bring order on the roads will continue

The 2018 Road Safety Movement was not only about making our roads safer but also about fighting against the irregularities and corruption in various sectors and agencies, particularly the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA).

My movement is rooted in oneness: Nawshaba

On August 4, 2018, Nawshaba was detained by RAB from a shooting spot in Uttara. Under Section 57 of the ICT Act, she was charged with spreading rumours on social media about the student protest for the demand for road safety. It is to be noted that she was not the only one who was charged under that act. Photographer Shahidul Alam, lawyer Imtiaz Mahmood, journalist Kajol, and many other activists were charged under this act for speaking against the former AL-led government.

Government must protect their rights and invest in their prospects

Road safety, transport politics, and a curious policy U-turn

The latest policy rollover on unfit vehicles seems to be the result of our policymakers remembering that they have interests to protect.

A suspicious BRTA diktat

BRTA must work collaboratively with all stakeholders to ensure road safety

Will Nadia’s tragic death change anything?

Road safety remains a neglected issue
