BSS, Dhaka
Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Md Asaduzzaman Mia yesterday said legal actions would be taken if any vehicle is found taking extra fare from passengers.

Asaduzzaman urged the owners of transport not to employ any drug addicted man as bus driver and helper.
He said security measures have been beefed up ahead of the Eid-ul-Fitr so that the holidaymakers can reach their village home safely and enjoy the most expected religious festival with near and dear ones.
