Md Enamul Haque speaks to DOT :
Cutting the head to cure headache is not a solution, said Md Enamul Haque in response to government’s announcement to restrict use of gas cylinders in private and commercial vehicles.
Road Transport and Bridges Minister, Obaidul Quader had instructed Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) to find alternative to gas cylinders as explosion of such cylinders in vehicles has increased.
The statement is very irresponsible and has no logical approach to an issue.
He also informed that, there is no alternative to cooking gas, by one match stick can cause fire hazard.
For that reason, should we stop using matchbox? Or we should we stop using cylinders for different purpose.
It is expected that the consumers should use the cylinders responsibly. Though cylinder is very expensive, but people use it for suitability, convenience to meet their daily chores.
