Govt alone can’t ensure road safety: PM
Dhaka, Oct 22 (UNB)- Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday said ensuring road safety is not the responsibility of the government or drivers alone as all will have to come up to deal with it.
"Ensuring a safe road system is not only the responsibility of the government or the drives, it’s the responsibility of all--from pedestrians to all other citizens. All have to perform their own duties," she said.
The Prime Minister said this while addressing a programme marking the National Road Safety Day-2019 at Krishibid Institution, Bangladesh (KIB) organised by the Road Transport and Highways Division.
This year’s theme of the day is ‘Jiboner Age JibikaNoy, SarakDurghatanaArNoy’ (Livelihood not ahead of life, no more road accident).
The Prime Minister asked all, especially the educated people, to obey traffic rules. "This is very much important."
She said the awareness of pedestrians as well as that of drivers is very much important. "Our footpaths are always occupied… these have to be freed (from illegal occupants)."
Turning to illegal and indiscriminate car parking on roads, Sheikh Hasina said many shopping malls while taking approval from the authorities concerned show car-parking spaces in their designs, but they later sell those as shops.
"As a result, people have to park their cars in front of shopping malls and occupy roads," she said.
The Prime Minister asked the traffic officials to be harsh against illegal car parking on roads and impose fine. "There should be parking spaces while the footpaths have to be freed for pedestrians."
Hasina asked the authorities concerned to stop plying of unfit vehicles on roads. "They somehow make the vehicles fit to run and earn money…this type of attitude has to be changed."
The Prime Minister also put emphasis on preventing bad competition on roads and uncontrolled speed of vehicles to end accidents.
She said development of road communications is very much important for developing a country.
