Unfit vehicles on the roads

A large number of the public buses and other vehicles in Bangladesh are unfit for roads, yet they move without any problem and often without legal paperwork. Their continued operation is putting lives at risk and causing environmental pollution, with black smokes. Unfortunately, the numbers of such illegal vehicles as well as unlicensed drivers, both major contributors to road accidents, are on the rise. The authorities must do something about it.
