Meanwhile, the Ministry of Transport has decided not to launch before Eid to prevent coronavirus infection. At the same time, the boat owners have also decided not to operate the boat before Eid. However, the owners of the buses have agreed to operate their buses if they obtain a permit, but now they say that since the government has decided not to operate public transport, they also agree with the government’s decision and will not do so at this time. This was stated by the leaders of the bus owners association.
In this sense, the Ministry of Road Transport said that since the general holiday was declared until May 30 and public movement was banned during the public holiday, it is not about allowing public transport to work.
Leaders of the Bangladesh Inland Navigation (Passenger Transport) Association, an association of launch owners, have said it would be wrong to launch a launch in this country. Because, on the one hand, crown infection is increasing in the country, on the other hand, it is difficult to start according to hygiene standards. Mahbub Uddin Ahmed, President of Bangladesh Inland Water Transport (YAP), an association of launch owners, said: “The launch will not take place before Eid. This is our final decision.” Because it is not possible to execute the launch according to the hygiene rules. Furthermore, the government has ordered to stop all types of public transport, the general public has been prohibited from going from one district to another, from one upazila to another. Therefore, we will not decide to launch before Eid in any way.
The bus owners, on the other hand, said they wanted to drive. He also requested permission and spoke to interested people. Since the government’s permit was not obtained, they will not drive. Although they were preparing to launch the bus before Eid.
Khandaker Enayet Ullah, secretary general of the Bangladesh Road Transport Association, said: “We agreed to drive from then on if we obtained the government’s permit.” We were also prepared in this regard. For this we were also discussing various levels of government. But the government has announced that it will stop public transportation. So we also agree with the government’s decision. We are not driving.
Transport Ministry Secretary Mohammad Mezbah Uddin Chowdhury said: “No ship is allowed to run before Eid.” The government has also imposed a ban on the movement of people during the holidays.
Railways minister Nurul Islam Sujan said the government has imposed a ban on all types of passenger transport, so the train is not running.
