Barrister Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh, Mayor of Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC), has warned that strict legal action will be taken if non-mechanical vehicles, including rickshaws and vans, are found to be mechanized by adding battery-powered engines.
This warning was given by the mayor of DSCC at the inaugural registration, renewal / change of ownership of rickshaws, vans, wheelbarrows, trailers and horse carts at the Nagar Bhaban facility on Sunday morning.
Mayor Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh said that all non-mechanical vehicles, including rickshaws and vans, which have been mechanized by adding battery motors, have been banned from DSCC area roads as of today. If these motor-driven rickshaw vans are found on the road, strict legal action will be taken against them.
Barrister Fazle Noor Taposh said, “The city of Dhaka has been described by many poets and writers as ‘City of Rickshaws or City of Rickshaw.’ It is our tradition. We are re-registering and refurbishing the slow moving non-mechanical vehicles we have, including rickshaws. Our main goal is to put order on the road through this. “
The mayor of DSCC said that non-mechanical vehicles other than registered non-mechanical vehicles will not be allowed to operate in Dhaka City. In the meantime, he said, activities have started to assess the effectiveness of vehicles on the roads in the DSCC area. As a result, we will determine which path slow vehicles will use and which path fast vehicles will use. Through this registration process, slow moving vehicles will be included in the registration and in the rules.
“This is not just a registration process, it is the first step in the plan to build a Dhaka on the move as described in the electoral manifesto,” said Mayor Tapas. “We will specify the non-mechanical vehicles and determine their roads and drivers.” As a result, non-mechanical vehicles will enter the transportation system in an orderly manner.
In response to a question on whether the registration of non-mechanical vehicles, including rickshaws, would have a negative impact rather than a positive role in reducing traffic congestion, the Mayor of DSCC said:. No registration of rickshaws and non-mechanical vehicles has been provided in this Dhaka city for over three decades. But is that why rickshaws don’t race in Dhaka? The reality is that rickshaws run in Dhaka and they all run illegally. And putting it on record means putting non-mechanical vehicles under control. We will register a specific number of rickshaw-vans and non-mechanical vehicles through this program.
On the occasion, Mayor Barrister Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh collected applications for a horse-drawn carriage and rickshaw for preservation and display in the corporation area on behalf of the Dhaka South City Corporation.
ABM CEO Amin Ullah Noori addressed the role under the direction of DSCC Chief Revenue Officer Ariful Haque. Head of Waste Management Air Commodore. Badrul Amin, Brigadier General Health Chief. Present were Sharif Ahmed, Chief Engineer Rezaur Rahman, DSCC Secretary Akramuzzaman, Regional Executive Director and senior officials of the Corporation.
