providers. DSCC Mayor Sayeed Khokon also announced to introduce rainbow bus services to Dhaka South to eliminate current poor transportation system in Dhaka and will bring new buses to restore order in public transportation sector.  
On Sunday and Monday, the courts filed a total of 142 cases and realized Tk 3.41 lakh as fine.
Although DSCC decided to conduct the drives simultaneously at five spots, the courts are operating at three spots due to the scarcity of manpower.
