BSS, Dhaka :
Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s (DMP’s) initiative of setting up 4,077 metal pillars has become an effective means of checking motorcycle plying on footpaths, which helps ensure safe movement of pedestrians in the city.
“We’ve achieved a complete success in checking
motorcycle plying on city’s footpaths through installation of 4,077 metal pillars on footpaths across the DMP area with our own finance,” DMP Commissioner Md Asaduzzaman Mia told BSS on Wednesday.
“Our next target is to make the city’s footpaths free from illegal occupation,” he said, hoping that this new endavour would be successful.
The DMP chief requested the owners of the refueling stations not to sell fuel to the motorcyclists having no helmet so that the bikers are compelled to wear safety helmets.
Asaduzzaman also said the DMP is conducting a month-long special campaign from Wednesday to bring discipline in the traffic management system and create awareness among people to stop the incidents of recurrent traffic rule violations.
In the recent Traffic Week in August, it was found that motorcyclists were the most violators of traffic rules as more than half of 88,293 traffic rules violation cases were filed against bikers during the period.
