QUADER-TRANSPORT-RULES-2 LAST DHAKA
About returning to previous fare, Quader said from today the public transport went back to previous fare instead of the fare adjusted in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.
He sought cooperation from all stakeholders, including transport owners and workers, in public interest and also called upon all, including the passengers, drivers and supervisors, to wear facemask mandatorily while travelling.
The minister said the transports will not carry any passenger excess of their seat numbers which means none can travel standing on vehicles.
Hand sanitizers or soaps for hand washing facilities should be ensured in transports while disinfectants should be sprayed in vehicles before and after each trip, he added.
He also urged all law enforcement agencies including DMP, highway police, district police and district administration to keep up their monitoring activities to this end.
The AL general secretary urged the party leaders and workers to follow the health guidelines strictly in performing the organizational activities from centre to grassroots.
Quader said a meeting of AL secretariat will be held tomorrow and some directives will come from it.
