Dhaka South City Corporation Mayor Barrister Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh making inaugural speech at a programme of registration, renewal and owner transfer of non-machanised vehicles at Nagar Bhaban in the city on Sunday — Focus Bangla The Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) kicked off a registration programme of non-mechanised vehicles on Sunday, reports UNB.
Mayor Barrister Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh on Sunday said only the registered non-mechanised vehicles will be allowed to operate in the city.
All modified non-mechanised vehicles such as rickshaws and peddled vans will be banned from the streets, he said.
"Many poets and playwrights called Dhaka the 'city of rickshaw'. It's our tradition. We've taken steps to bring slow vehicles like rickshaws under registration to bring discipline on the road," the mayor said while inaugurating the registration programme of rickshaw, van and cart at Nagar Bhaban.
He warned that legal action would be taken against unauthorised vehicles from Sunday as DSCC has imposed restriction on plying of engine/battery-run rickshaws.
Earlier, a notice was issued for bringing the non-mechanised vehicles under registration with DSCC. The interested owners have been asked to collect application form at a cost of Tk 100 from the Nagar Bhaban from September 13 to September 27.
"This registration will help us bring slow (non-mechanised) vehicles under registration and regulations," Taposh said.
"Our main goal is to bring back discipline on the road, " he added.
