COMILLA: Describing unauthorised vehicles like auto-bike as one of the main reasons behind frequent road accidents on highways, Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader Friday said these types of vehicle will in no way be allowed to ply on the motorways.
He made the remarks while talking to reporters at Paduar Bazar on Dhaka-Chittagong highway after a sudden crackdown on illegal three-wheelers there.
During the drive, the minister seized several battery-run auto-bikes and ordered the removal of the batteries of the vehicles.
Obaidul Quader observed that auto-bikes will continue to cause accidents on highways if those are allowed any longer,according to a news agency.
