Recently the Communications Minister Syed Abul Hossain announced that, fastening of seat belts, wearing helmets while riding a motorcycle, using the footbridge and underpass while crossing the road, would be made mandatory, and talking on the phone while driving would be banned. These new rules will take effect from November 1, 2010, and if these rules are not followed, drivers and commuters will be fined, and even jailed. Majority of the people don't follow these rules. If we change our bad habits, we can change the whole country.
I also urge the government to build safe roads, and the print and electronic media to make people aware of this issue.
