Sayeed Muhammad: Traffic police yesterday, the second day of Traffic Week, have lodged at least 30 cases against vehicles at Science Lab intersection in Dhaka for carrying expired licences or having invalid papers. “The cases were filed for using hydraulic horn, expired licenses and invalid papers,” said Shamsuddoha, on-duty traffic sergeant, reports The Daily Star.
Traffic police have been conducting the drives on the roads as the Dhaka Metropolitan Police on Sunday started the weeklong campaign against unfit vehicles, fake licences and drivers without proper documents amid student protest demanding safe roads.
Soon after two students were killed in a road accident on Airport Road on July 29, students gathered at Science Lab intersection and waged demonstration. But yesterday, there was no presence of students in the area since morning, while traffic was better than the past few days.
