Fines for illegal parking, speeding to be hiked
Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal yesterday said fine for illegal parking and over speeding will be raised.
"The existing fine of Tk 200 to 300 is not enough and once increased, drivers will think before speeding and illegal parking,” he told a procession organised by "Nirapad Sarak Chai", in the Capital's Shilpa Kala Academy.
However, the minister did not mention when the fine will be raised or how they will check over speeding.
“I am delighted to see the numbers of people present; if we remain disciplined and united, I believe, we will be able to make our roads safer and death-free," saidIlias Kanchan, chairman of the organisation, which observes October 22 as "National Safe Road Day" at the Central Shaheed Minar. Kanchan started the movement, "We Demand Safe Road" after death of his wife Jahanara Kanchan in a road accident 22 years ago.
