Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) and Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) yesterday conducted several drives against unfit vehicles, including buses, in different areas of the capital. As a result, many owners kept their unfit buses in garages leading to shortage of public transport on city roads and as a result, the people suffered immensely. During yesterday’s drives, a total of 67 unfit vehicles were identified by the BRTA and DMP officials. Twelve of those vehicles were sent to dumping zone, eight drivers and their helpers sentenced to jail for different terms. A total of Tk 65,000 was realized in fines. The drive at Banani was conducted by DMP Executive Magistrate Mashiur Rahman while BRTA executive magistrates conducted drives at Airport intersection, Karwan Bazar, Notre Dame College intersection, and Mawa Ghat, BRTA Director (enforcement) Bijoy Bhushan Paul told The Independent.
