Transport owners for rules and regulations on Road Transport Act

Bangladesh Road Transport Owners' Association has extended its full support to the Road Transport Act, 2018, that went into effect since November 1.

“The transport sector gets a new law after a long time and we have full support to it,” Mashiur Rahman Ranga, MP, also president of Bangladesh Road Transport Owners' said this at a press briefing on Friday.

He read out a written statement during the programme.

He also demanded quick formation of the rules and regulations of the act.

Referring to different sections of the act, he said that all the rules cannot be imposed within a day. It has to be done gradually.

He urged the authorities concerned to be careful so that the transport workers are not harassed unnecessarily through abuse of the act.

“If the owners of the vehicles have proper papers and the drivers have licences, they shouldn’t be fined a large sum of money for any accident. The sector will suffer, otherwise,” He also said.
