City Desk :
Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Habibur Rahman on Tuesday said that police would not stop any passenger bus plying in streets of Dhaka city unless they break the speed limit or cause an accident.
No traffic sergeant will stop the passengers’ carrying vehicles. However, if that vehicle breaks the speed limit or causes an accident, it will be impounded, the DMP Commissioner said.
The DMP commissioner came up with the remark replying to reporters’ questions after the inauguration of ‘Traffic Safety Awareness Program and Road Safety Slogan Competition-2024’ organized by Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology at Tejgaon in the capital on Tuesday afternoon.
The Chief of the DMP said that in the gate lock checking system, after leaving the terminal with a certain number of passengers, the bus will not be able to stop anywhere other than the specified place. Long distance buses will leave from the terminal and go to their respective destinations. Legal action is being taken for boarding passengers and alighting everywhere.
In Dhaka, big cars will run at a speed of 40 km and motorcycles at a speed of 30 km and a driver should understand the road conditions.
