Fitness for CNG-run autorickshaws
Recently, I have witnessed a terrible incident at the turning point near Jahangir Gate, while passing through the old airport road. The driver of a nearby CNG-run autorickshaw suddenly braked hard to prevent an accident after its front wheel came loose. There could be a serious accident because of that but fortunately, nothing happened. Most of the CNG-run autorickshaws are too old and unfit to ply the road. These vehicles are not only unfit but also unsafe for the passengers and the general passers-by.
I would request the authorities concerned to take necessary steps to ensure the fitness and safety of the CNG-run autorickshaws.
