Dear all Good news for all our activist that  The government of Bangladesh is planning to restrict the movement of private cars in Dhaka to reduce nagging traffic jam. 
"Private cars with less than four or five passengers will not be allowed to ply the city streets," finance minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith told reporters at the secretariat on Tuesday. 

"We'll have to make public transport system more efficient for the people," he said. 

He said they had approved a proposal to buy 255 buses to make the public transport system more effective. "Public transport should be meant for public but now a few people are creating anarchy in the field." 

The minister said: "Traffic jam is the biggest allegation against the government. 

The cabinet committee on purchase has approved the proposal to buy 255 Korean buses for BRTC under EDCF loan of Tk 2.12 billion. 

Thanks
