He said: “If we can build the Padma Bridge with our own funds, then why can’t we build Dhaka as a beautiful and modern city? It is a challenge. We will face this challenge.”
Quader made the remarks while addressing a Dhaka Vehicle Coordination Authority (DTC) board meeting via video conference Sunday.
He said: “The city of Dhaka bears no resemblance to the development and achievements of the country. … The buses pass here, you can’t look at their faces. The buses are so dirty, dirty and inadequate.
“Again, many buses are not painted. I have spoken it over and over again. Two mayors of Dhaka can build a modern Dhaka. You have that ability, that talent, that ability. “
The minister said: “In view of the proposal from the two Dhaka mayors, I expect a report by January 15 on the general issues, including the location of the two terminals, the allocation of space for the U-loop, the evaluation tax. The face of the city will change. “
Addressing mayors, Obaidul Quader said: “You sit down and decide on a policy. I will do whatever it takes to implement it. I want to see Dhaka city as a clean green city. The government will do everything possible to achieve it.
The minister recommended that the two mayors take action with the help of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police to stop the movement of easy bikes and battery-powered rickshaws in different areas of the city, including New Market Junction and Pallabi. He also said that rescue operations on the trails will be intensified.
Instructing stakeholders to review existing rules and regulations on road permits and submit new proposals, he said: “The BRTA building under construction should be completed soon to reduce the suffering of the people.”
The Road Transport Minister said new initiatives will be taken to implement the late Mayor Anisul Haque’s initiative to reduce traffic congestion at the Tejgaon truck terminal.
That’s why he asked the covered truck and truck owners association to take the necessary action.
Obaidul Quader said that action should be taken against those who do not wear helmets on motorcycles and that no political consideration can be taken in this regard.
“Legal action should also be taken against those who use sirens illegally in cars.”
Dhaka North City Corporation Mayor Atiqul Islam, Southern Mayor, Attorney Sheikh Fazle Nur Taposh, Narayanganj Mayor Selina Hayat Ivy and Gazipur Mayor Jahangir Alam, MP Nazrul Islam Babu, Secretary of Transportation by road and highways. Nazrul Islam, Bridge Secretary Belayet Hossain and other interested officials were present at the meeting.
